ASK.ME™
ASK.ME is an interactive installation housing a touch activated perceptual hologram that senses a viewer’s presence and produces an answer that hovers inside an inverted plexiglass pyramid. The illusion is refracted upon the mirrors lining the inside of a large geodesic dome— creating a multiplicity of imagery.
When the viewer enters the dome, the hologram will activate with the greeting, “ASK.ME™.” Visitors will be instructed to ask the “8 Ball” questions—resulting in three-dimensional holographic “answers.” The holographic “answers” reflect the lexicon of current slang— particularly words, acronyms, and symbols that have evolved through social media and the web. The holograms will reflect off the mirrors lining the dome—creating uncanny illusions. Light and space will skew to divulge a deeper strangeness. This unique take on holograms, fortune telling and divine spaces addresses our human need to foresee the future.
