Cloisonné vase, plinth, custom mechanics, electronics and software
Perfect View is an interactive sculpture that personifies the human desire to always show one's best side to others.
Entering the gallery space, the viewer encounters a badly damaged Cloissoné vase, mounted on a white plinth. When the viewer comes within a few metres of the piece, the vase begins to turn silently, adjusting its position so as to always show the viewer a perfect view of its undamaged side.The result is a visual experience where, in effect, imperfection is edited out.
