(Introduction)
(Approach)
How does it feel to be named one of our Digital Mavericks for your current exhibition at The Contemporary Austin? MW: It is an incredible honor to share these reality-bending spatial experiments with your audience. Your work transforms 2D user data into massive 3D wall projections. What is the core concept behind this? MW: I want to show that 3D space is mostly a sensorial illusion created by our brains. How do visitors actively shape the artwork they see on the museum walls? MW: Their movement data is captured in flat 2D, which my algorithms then project outward as dynamic 3D depth. You often say the world is "partially rendered outside us." What do you mean by that? MW: The mind projects reality; the physical environment just provides the raw code for us to render. What is the biggest technical challenge in turning flat, real-time data into immersive spaces? MW: Eliminating lag so the visitor instantly sees their own biological data reshape the architecture. How does the unique setting of The Contemporary Austin influence this specific installation? MW: The historic physical walls contrast beautifully with the fluid, digital illusions I layer on top of them. What do you hope visitors discover about themselves when they interact with your projections? MW: I want them to realize they are active co-creators of the space they inhabit. Your visual experiments challenge human perception. Has making this art changed how you perceive daily life? MW: Absolutely, I look at solid objects now and see them as fluid sensory data. Why is it vital for you to share these scientific and philosophical discoveries through art? MW: Art bypasses intellectual barriers, allowing people to feel a profound concept rather than just analyze it. [1] What boundary are you planning to push next in the realm of interactive digital art? MW: I want to remove screens entirely and render these interactive illusions directly into thin air.
