Optical recall
OPTICAL RECALL (from video/photo)
“Magnification is the process of enlarging something only in appearance, not in physical size. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called magnification. When this number is less than one it refers to a reduction in size, sometimes called minification.
Typically magnification is related to scaling up visuals or images to be able to see more detail, increasing resolution, using optics, printing techniques, or digital processing. In all cases, the magnification of the image does not change the perspective of the image.
Maximum usable magnification
With any telescope or microscope, there is a maximum magnification beyond which the image looks bigger but shows no more detail. It occurs when the finest detail the instrument can resolve is magnified to match the finest detail the eye can see. Magnification beyond this maximum is sometimes called “empty magnification”.

QUAD/DESERT WALKER
- the stage is optically magnified (the nakedness of the salt playa providing a flat surface)
- the stage is limited only by the frame of the optical image as captured by the camera and viewed on a screen.
- otherwise it takes place on the crust of the earth.
- the performers are not magnified. They are minified!
