An incredible project by French content creation studio BK Digital Art Company has brought the disembodied head of Greek god Apollo to life. The art installation, called 'Golem x Apollo' uses projection mapping to animate a sculpture of the ancient god of music, poetry, and prophesy.
Arnaud Pottier, the artistic director of BK
Digital Art Company said: "Golem is an
installation using an antique sculpture and video to
create the uncanny feelings. Instilling the living
and the human in the non-human, this work
questions the deception of the virtualized image
of the living and our empathy for a
picture of the reconstructed body, in short
the sensitive border between virtual reality and virtuality real."
