The Digital and the Real
Meeting
I would call it An Avatar at my Table.
This is one of Carl Barber’s works. He makes pictures by introducing cyber people into a photographic scene. See more of them here.
He has an exhibition of his pictures at:-
BLUE BEAN
272 Portobello High St
Edinburgh EH15 2AT
Interest declared – he’s a great friend of mine.

Very Kraftwerk.

The picture is so real that an hologram looks exactly like what it is, an hologram, but at the same time, it looks so integrated in the picture that it doesn’t stand out or looks different in any way.
Same as some scenes at Blade Runner… holograms look so integrated in the movie…

Obviously a combination of Poser or like software and Photoshop.

Kind of strange that the avatars are so obviously synthetic. I wonder what he is trying to say, if anything. Maybe it’s a comment on the way the digital world, is already such an important part of our lives !! The images are very well composed.

Very interesting note. It really looks almost real. I’ll have a closer look at the page. This is Great.

This is amazing. I have to look closer to see if it’s real. I also love the background. The hand gestures and even the positioning of the feet are also great. I wonder if I can have a picture like this talking to someone really famous. Just a thought.
Awesome shot!

I had to look twice at the image as I did not realise the person was actually an avatar. Carl is very talented and the work is impressive.
