Linear Perspective In The Oakes Twins

Fig 6, The Oakes Twins Drawing Machine Fig 7, The Oakes Twins, Unknown Furthermore, currently the twin artist duo Trevor and Ryan Oakes (1982- ) from New York have invented a drawing machine (fig6) that they are able to use, to create an accurate account of their visual experiences. This development is probably the biggest advancement yet of conveying perspective precisely, since the invention of linear perspective centuries earlier. With their invention they are able to accurately record their observations whilst they’re visually experiencing it. With similarity to Hitchens the artist duo have adopted the use of curvature lines to convey their peripheral surroundings with some truthfulness to what they visually experience, which is illustrated in fig 7. Although unlike Hitchens instead of the long elongation horizontally to represent …show more content…
However through closer exploration of the artist’s work presented we now know that linear perspective is not an accurate method in depicting visual experience. Linear perspective does not take into account vision from both eyes, peripheral and central vision. Nonetheless the artist’s that I have examined have all approached conveying visual experience in a diverse number of ways as each individual experience is not precisely the same. The Oakes twins, arguably present visual perception the most precisely, as they can directly ghost trace their observations whilst they are visually experiencing them with their drawing machine invention. They seem to have overcome the problem of depicting peripheral space by the three dimensional concave construction of their drawings which also takes in consideration the areas that are visible around the eye with the exception of the
