7- Concept
Transdimensional Test Card uses a vintage (1960s) TV set, re-tuned into an augmented, multidimensional test card, with various layers of refraction, diffraction and reflection. The familiar test pattern, from omnipresent old TV sets, becomes unfamiliar; it jumps out at the viewer, as it becomes 3D through these different layers and includes even the time dimension (image in motion).
