Lamparna

The “User-miner” is immersed simultaneously in multiple 3D cyber underground worlds projected in parallel. This is a schizophrenic space where dissonances, fractures and nomadic beings are immured. Equipped with a “Lamparna” (lantern) and a hammer increased by motion sensors, the new twenty-first century minor may initiate his descent into abyss. There, he can explore a network of multimedia tunnels occupied by pixelated shadows and virtual characters glued to frantic loops, mechanical rhythms and over-cadenced sounds, all inspired by past industrial revolution. Still under pressure and near to explosion, the virtual belly can let escape at any moment an imperceptible lethal information sheet.

Techniques: 3D game engine, Lantern, infrared video tracking, hammer augmented with sensors, MIDI/OSC protocols, Audio-Video sequences and processing.
