Twin brothers Ryan and Trevor Oakes devote their artwork to exploring visual perception and its representation. Together they designed "the easel", a curving, gridded canvas propped upon a tripod that allows one eye to focus on the paper while the other looks at the perceived environment to be drawn. For an exhibition at EMPAC Rensselaer in Troy, New York, the brothers created an immersive drawing of the Grimshaw-designed concert hall, documented in this film. "The Periphery of Perception" runs until May 12, 2012. (Found at The Funambulist.)
