QuattrOcchi
With QuattrOcchi a child and an adult can look at the world from each other point of view.
Does our perspective on the word depend on the height from which we look at it?
With the QuattrOcchi periscope a child and an adult can look at the same world from each other point of view. The adult will look through the eyes of the child he has been; the child will look through the eyes of the adult he is going to be.
In italian “quattrocchi” is a joking term referring to a person with glasses and by extension to a geek. Naming their project like this, Dossofiorito play on this double entendre. It confers a stronger sense of a whole: the four eyes belong to one entity and not to two entities coming together.
