The viewer is guided through the history of jazz by examining sculptures that exhibit distinct silhouettes when viewed from different angles in a virtual walkthrough of a shadow art museum. Shadow art is a unique form of sculptural art that exploits the fact that we can recognize objects from their shadows or silhouettes. Improvisation, a key ingredient of jazz, is mirrored in the ambiguity of shadow sculptures, where many different 3D shapes can cast the same 2D shadow.
