Every Alien Has a Story to Tell
Most artworks never get the chance to tell the stories behind them. While visiting an exhibition, you might hear the artist explain the inspiration behind a piece. But outside of that moment, those stories often remain hidden. Interactive Portraits explore a simple idea: what if the story behind an artwork became part of the artwork itself? Every alien begins with an inspiration — a person, a memory, a place or a moment that leaves an impression. While the collection captures these inspirations as characters, Interactive Portraits reveal the stories behind them. By combining physical artwork with digital storytelling, each portrait becomes an experience waiting to be explored.
Scan the artwork with the noizybutpurple App and discover a hidden layer behind the character. Through stories and interaction, each portrait becomes a doorway into a larger world waiting to be discovered. Many of these stories explore life in a digitized society and ask questions about the relationship between technology, identity and human connection. Would such a world be better, worse, or simply different?

THE NOIZYBUTPURPLE APP.
Point your phone at any alien — the app recognises which character you’re looking at and unlocks their story instantly.
Built on computer vision, the model was developed entirely from scratch. It’s one of my latest projects and a step up from my earlier NFC work. Since it’s still growing, your feedback is genuinely welcome.
