Rishona Studios announces the development of a patent pending technique used to create 3D-like visual illusions in 2D space. Unlike many geometrically-based illusion, the juxtaposition technique utilizes three (3) complex photographic or art images to create an expressive composite, blending science, math and art. 2.5D Juxtaposition Art creates a new "dimension" in accessible interpretative art and storytelling experiences in true 2D space without the use of holograms or special glasses.
Despite physically splitting the component images in creating the composite, each image, nonetheless, remains visually intact and distinct. Whether it's a magnificent vista portraying a sunset or sunrise, a pristine view of the mountains, a field of winter's grass, or a crowded market scene with thousands of people - nothing of the component images or details are lost. Rather, picture elements which are often overlooked are now highlighted within each segment making viewing an ongoing discovery experience. The emergent experience also extends to the shifting perspectives as the viewer's mind reassembles the hyphenated images within the composite, making juxtaposition art inherently dynamic.
"Think of an ice cream sundae for the mind and visual senses, where the mixing of colors, content flavors and textures combine to create an emergent experience with shifting perspectives and new discoveries as the details in the component images reveal themselves within the context of the story - a story which the viewer writes for themselves," notes T.R. Ellison who originally developed the technique as a storytelling tool.
Like puzzles, juxtaposition art is designed to holistically engage both the left and right sides of brain, simultaneously evoking visceral responses and cognitive engagement. Rishona Studios is exploring an opportunity to include a juxtaposition artwork as a mural in a sensory garden to help promote brain fitness.
"Keeping the mind engaged and able to focus is critical at any age, but is especially important for older adults, in managing stress and for certain disorders with cognitive function impacts," notes Ellison.
Intriguing in their abstract form, yet familiar, the juxtaposition art series includes several Colorado 2013 scenes which showcase the western state's inviting nature scenes, exploring water, sky, mountain and grassland images photographed in winter and spring. The Israel juxtaposition series - the first created using the technique - includes photographic images embracing the country's history and people, and explores the themes of transition, spirituality and nature. The recent addition to the Israel collection,"Waters of Life" showcases acacia trees in a "dry" wadi, vineyards in the Galilee and the roiling Mediterranean waters off the coast of Caesarea.
The 2.5D juxtaposition technique has also been applied in delivering targeted messaging on social action issues with the "Looking at Democracy" challenge, design concepts for integrating product lifecycle management information onto packaging materials, and most recently in developing a signature juxtaposition composition with images from the 2013 Parkinson Association of the Rockies 10th annual Vitality Walk.
The intriguing "2.5D" images created using the juxtaposition technique offer embedded engagement - a "stop, look, and think" potential which is well-suited for marketing and advertising purposes, branding, product line/diversity showcases, and with applications for compacting and presentation complex data and content with the accordion-styled images.
