Using Infra-red sensors, hacked xbox 360 video game controllers,and a customized version of Half-Life 2 and the Source SDK, this interactive art installation explores pyscho-geography and how virtual spaces affect us as human beings. A virtual space is created of the physical location of the installation and viewers are able to explore the space without having to actually travel.
As we move through space and time, there is a tension between our physical bodies, the exterior forces of the world, and the virtual space we hold in our minds. Are space and time relative to the individual?
According to how we operate our bodies, light comes into the retina of our eyes which move as electrochemical impulses to the brain. We interpret these impulses as the scenery we are walking through and don't even see the impulses which make them up. The same is true for our other senses as well. This interaction between the world and our bodies is the ultimate computer, and our muscles provide the controls.
