Vœrtex is part of Max Hattler’s artistic research into expanded stereoscopy; techniques and processes which employ binocular vision in unconventional ways to create spaces where depth relations are disjointed and paradoxical, where binocular rivalry is used to create unique visual effects, or where new dimensionality and visual intensity are excavated from flat source material. This work was supported by a GRF grant from the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (GRF “Expanded Stereoscopy”, Project No. 11602919)
We went down, we went down – how far who knows.
