Images from the installation at INDAF. The software takes you from “creation mode”, where you are in the middle of the structures, to the center of the piece, where you observe the entirety of the ‘city’. This city is wiped out every night and generatively created every day from scratch, always a bit different . The actual location of the festival in Incheon, Korea, all the buildings and structures will themselves be demolished at the end of 80 days.

On the left is our hotel, in the middle the walk we did every day to the festival, with the festival buildings at the end.

We realized last night while working into the wee hours that, with this installation, what we are essentially creating is a virtual space that must be experienced in person in real life.

… which is kind of hilarious.

The midnight oil burning was due to the fact that we needed to rewrite of a huge chunk of the Java code, and almost all of the VRML — the details about why that was necessary will be included in another post to come soon.
