Live Inventory is a 3D animation by Leo Castañeda, an award-winning Miami-based artist. Combining game-engine techniques with 3D-scan models from The Wolfsonian's collection, Castañeda brings artworks to life, as machine-age items from the exhibition A Universe of Things: Micky Wolfson Collects mutate into surreal virtual entities bound within uncanny display cases. In his mind-bending video, Castañeda dissolves the frontiers between objects, characters, and space, probing the impact of digitization on the evolution of everyday designs and our preconceptions about the human experience.
Live Inventory is made possible through the generous support of The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Knight Arts Challenge Grant with matching funds provided by The Jerome A. Yavitz Charitable Foundation, Inc., Stephen H. Cypen, President; Isabel and Marvin Leibowitz; and Woolems Construction.
