STYLY Photogrammetry Awards 2019 -Winners Announcement-

I felt life in this photogrammetry artwork.

If I didn’t know this was a photogrammetry award artwork, I am sure that I wouldn’t be able to tell it was made using photogrammetry. I felt that this work is not created just to use photogrammetry, but is using it as a means of expression.

It seems that using photogrammetry was perfect for this work, and viewers can feel a strong emotion that the objects are real things that are dearly loved. The objects are not just 3D models, they are creations by craftsmen.

I felt a nostalgic feeling, and became absorbed on what will show up in the next corner. The structure of the scene is very well thought out too, and makes the viewer want to discover what comes next. It is a artwork that saves and teaches us precious culture in a natural and attractive way.

We are very honored to be able to take part in judging such an amazing group of photogrammetry work, so we would first like to give a big thank you to STYLY for including us in this competition. We at Looking Glass have been especially interested in seeing how photogrammetry, how real world content, can fit inside the Looking Glass as both artistic expression and as holographic containers for memories. We now all live in a world in which 2D images and movies are not the only way for us to look back to the past – we can now store the world around us with practices like photogrammetry and present it as a three dimensional experience. And we can infuse within photogrammetry the emotion through which we view the space we are recreating. For us, Deeper Blue Memory created a world in the Looking Glass that did this beautifully. We were moved by the emotion we felt present in this real human space, that was so surreally engulfed underwater. We are excited to present the creator of Deeper Blue Memory with a Looking Glass!

数々の素晴らしいフォトグラメトリ作品の審査に参加できることを大変光栄に思います。
まず、このコンテストに私たちを招いてくれたSTYLYに感謝します。

私たちLooking Glassは、フォトグラメトリで切り取られた現実世界の風景が、芸術表現として、また記憶を閉じ込めるホログラフィックコンテナ（holographic containers）として、どのようにLooking Glassに収まるかに特に興味がありました。私たちが生きている世界では、もはや2Dの写真や動画だけが過去を振り返る手段ではありません。私たちをとりまく世界をフォトグラメトリのような技術を用いて保存し、３次元の体験として提示できるようになりました。そして私たちはフォトグラメトリで再現した世界の内に、エモーション（感情）を吹き込むことができます。

私たちにとって、Deeper Blue MemoryはそれらをLooking Glassの中に美しく表現した作品でした。私たちは、超現実的に水の中に飲み込まれた、現実の人間を取り巻く空間に存在する感情に心を動かされました。
私たちは、Deeper Blue Memoryを作成したアーティストにLookingGlassをお渡しできることを嬉しく思います！
