guided expedition through virtual worlds.
CODED LANDSCAPES
Gallery Wechselstrom, Vienna
Tonight I will open a few portals and take visitors on a guided expedition through my virtual worlds.
From Sphere 4 to ProtoMachines Lab, we will travel through habitats populated by proto-machines, artificial organisms, fractal structures, ancient plants, communal gathering spaces and various forms of synthetic life.
Some of these environments have existed for years. Others continue to mutate.
All of them ask the same question:
What happens when virtual spaces stop behaving like simulations and start behaving like places?
Part of the Fluviale Festival.
Discussion moderated by Thomas J. Jelinek.
With Reante Pittroff, Christoph Theiler, Darko Fritz and guests.
