digitally generated autostereogram 

2021

An autostereogram can be described as an image within an image. It consists of a single two-dimensional image that allows viewers to perceive a camouflaged object in depth and three-dimensionality. The hidden volume which is invisible in a monocular inspection of the images emerges from the background pattern only under binocular viewing. This is also called “cyclopean vision” —   an ability to see shapes in stereo that neither eye can see in mono. 

Autostereograms work like gateways to another plane of perception. Like an aperture to a new dimension embedded in a sheet of paper. Reading/viewing becomes a performative act.

The realisation of the work was supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council.
