Johanna Jaskowska
Berlin-based digital artist Johanna Jaskowska looked to the way light reflects on a person's face when creating her range of shimmering and shiny face filters.
Beauty3000 transforms the user's face into a glossy, "plastic" surface, while Techgnosis has a slightly pixelated quality with iridescent colouring.
"I like to experiment with lights in the virtual space that will stage and highlight the user's face. Kind of like we would do for a photo portrait in a studio, but with AR, the model is you and me," she told Dezeen.
Aaron Jablonski
Jablonski's Hypermat filter explore hypermaterials ? materials that have exaggerated properties like hyper-glossiness and iridescence. The user floats in midair in an abstract space surrounded by colourful iridescent shapes.
"I am fascinated by technology, its impact on our lives and how these hyper-technologised times change how we perceive ourselves online and offline," said Jablonski to Dezeen.
"I am interested in topics like human-machine interface or the uncanny valley. Technological progress fascinates me but of course I also acknowledge the dystopian implications it has for example in terms of mass-surveillance in combination with face tracking technology," he c...
