"Traces"

"Traces" explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives.  What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter.  A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought. that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.  

Bio

Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the US and mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. 

Most recently, she has been exploring the involvement of technology and interactivity in art. This has driven her to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Game Development. She continues to hone her skills as a creative coder through the creation of interactive videos, installations, and games.
