10.000 moving cities - same but different Interactive Net-Based Installation, 2010
«10.000 moving cities» deals with the world of information and news
about places and cultures of your own choices. Audiovisual information can be sought in real
time and the results are projected on an abstract architectural model.
Visitors are able to walk through the model and experience the
information in 3D.
Through this work you will be able to discover cities you've never even
heard of before. In China alone, there are over 100 cities with over one
million inhabitants (marked in red). We would like to give you the
opportunity to discover these and 10,000 other places through a
multi-media experience.
Latest Informations, Text, Images, Videos and Sounddatas from the Internet are in real time processed, analyzed and projected on objects. Embeded speakers are playing Text, Noises and Songs related to the places where useres choose. These Informations are searched in real-time trough search engines such as ccMixer, Flickr, Google, Pozinger, Technorati, Yahoo, Wikipedia...
The visitors are surrounded by fragments of the own chosen places. They constantly change, are never the same, always in movement as the place as itself.
Interface
Detail Screen
Visitors can search for cities and towns in two different ways. The
first option involves choosing a city by sliding the mouse arrow across
the map and clicking on a pre-existing blue or red pin. The mouse wheel
enables visitors to zoom in and out of the map. The second option
involves clicking on "Search" and inserting the name of a city via the
keyboard on the screen, then clicking on "go!".
Masks
Monitors are used for the setup in order to set masks.
The precise projection surfaces on the objects can be adjusted by the software, using adjustable masks. Thus, it is only the object which are projected and not onto the floor.
This gives the impression that the objects themselves radiate the image - the objects becoming screen.
