Sydney photographer Peter Murphy has produced a series of novel kinds of stereoscopic multimedia pieces and panoramic time-lapse videos for his exhibition ModelCity. His latest work exploits breakthrough hardware and software technologies in the areas of auto-stereoscopic (no-glasses-required 3D) image capture and display, and panoramic video stitching and warping. At the same time there is a sense of the city as a toyland.
On the Media Wall, Murphy shows a series of 360 degree time-lapse videos of Sydney CBD scenes in a circular ‘little planet’ perspective. These views paradoxically provide a simultaneous experience of god-like overview and immersive panoramic immediacy. In the Red Room, Murphy uses a large 3D screen to show a hologram-like slideshow of Sydney and the City Model, a series of large 3D lenticular prints emphasising the built environment, and an interactive kiosk where users can navigate time-lapse videos.
