Opticon is an interactive led sculpture by Alex Postelnicu and Jason Levine, that brings into question how, what seems like cohesive experience to one, can often appear disjointed and alien to third parties. Opticon uses perspective illusion to appear to be an abstract audiovisual sculpture for almost all spectators but one. The structure of the installation uses aluminum housed led strips to form a cross-hatching body of disordered and angled pixel strips, each part of a 360º volumetric canvas, yet only clearly understood from one specific position in space. From that single angle, it is a cohesive interactive display, while it becomes an abstract art field from most other angles.
