Diving Into Infinity

Diving into Infinity is a Kinect-based system which explores ways to interactively navigate M.C. Escher’s works involving infinite regression. It focuses on Print Gallery, an intriguing, self-similar work created by M.C. Escher in 1956.  The interface allows a user to zoom in and out, as well as rotate the image to reveal its self-similarity, by navigating prerecorded video material. This material is based on previous mathematical analyses of Print Gallery to reveal / explain the artist’s depiction of infinity. The system utilizes a Model-View Controller architecture implemented over Open Sound Control (OSC).
