EVERYTHING IS A PROJECTION

During the pandemic, Sheung Yiu (HK/FI) started digitising everything on his desk at home. He created 3D models of 81 objects and added texture details using a computer graphic technique known as projective texturing. This transformed his physical de
sktop into a three-dimensional digital world. The digitisation of his desktop produced a dataset of digital objects that became an archaeological site of his everyday life. Everything Is a Projection explores one of the visual systems that form the b
ackbone of virtual reality and gaming, and exposes the inner mechanisms of computer graphics that increasingly shape our world. The book combines a vast collection of various maps and 3D objects, and includes an interview with Jaakko Lehtinen, head r
esearcher at NVIDIA.
