The specific focus of my written research is a
comparative study of Filippo Brunelleschi's
perspective device and the virtual reality work of
Char Davies. This comparative study focuses on the
ingredients of both devices as well as the
similarities between the environments in which they
were demonstrated. Brunelleschi's Peephole device,
according to his biographer Manetti, first
demonstrated perspective theory in the early
fifteenth century. Brunelleschi¹s device, with its
three main components, the mirror, the burnished
silver and the painted panel, are examined in regards
to the environment it was demonstrated in. The
dissertation explores these elements as the essential
conceptual ingredients for the reconfiguration of
space in modern times. Aspects of Brunelleschi's
device are also examined creatively in my practical work.
