Born in Cianjur, a small town in West Java, Indonesia, Agus Wijaya was subject to prejudice for his Chinese heritage. In response, he developed his own lexicon of visual characters as a way to reclaim his Chinese Indonesian identity.
In this video, Agus uses an avatar to communicate—discussing the concept of anaglyphs and sharing his process for creating a digital anaglyph using Photoshop.
An anaglyph is a visual effect that overlays two images in different colours to create the impression of a 3D image when seen through 3D glasses.
The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
