Large-scale mosaic intervention integrating anaglyphic 3D structures and pixel displacement systems to transform urban space into a shifting field of optical instability and perceptual movement.
Created as a 750 × 170 cm urban mosaic, Viaje Cinético represents the artist’s first large-scale exploration of kinetic perception within public space. Developed through the combination of pixel-based construction and anaglyphic color separation, the work can be experienced both as a mosaic intervention and as a stereoscopic image when viewed through red-cyan 3D glasses. Rather than depicting a fixed scene, the composition generates a continuous sensation of displacement, inviting the viewer to move physically while the image simultaneously appears to move around them.
The project introduced a line of investigation that would later become central to the artist’s practice: the use of limited visual information to create expanded perceptual experiences. Through carefully calibrated red and cyan offsets, geometric forms, trees and human silhouettes oscillate between flatness and depth, transforming an ordinary urban wall into an active perceptual environment.
Executed tessera by tessera using handcrafted mosaic techniques, the work bridges digital imaging systems, Op Art strategies and public intervention. Viaje Cinético marks an early milestone in the artist’s ongoing research into optical vibration, stereoscopic vision and the capacity of static materials to generate the illusion of movement through the participation of the viewer.
