Richard Brierley remarked on the innovative nature of the exhibit: 'Normally the portrait is passive and you are the active one. In this case the portrait is active and you are passive.' This interaction emphasizes the shift in viewer engagement, where digital portraits of actors come to life, drawing audiences in to experience Shakespeare through a new medium.
The exhibition, featuring 10 digital portraits of contemporary Shakespearean actors, marries image and sound in a groundbreaking way. The viewer can activate dialogue from the actors' performances, creating a unique interactive experience.
Arsalan Sattari-Hicks explained the technology behind the portraits and the artistic process: 'We recorded the sitter in a studio using a state-of-the-art camera and then refined the images through hours of post-production.' This combination of technology and artistry transforms traditional portraiture into an animated experience.
The uncanny nature of the portraits was described as 'intriguing,' with subtle movements and expressions capturing the essence of each actor. This experience challenges traditional notions of how we interact with art.
