Project Abstraction:• My work is about telling a story within an interactive 3D space. Not exactly telling a story but

using Sound with unsynchronized Image to give certain kind of perception via the routine I built. Although there is already quite many art works have used an interactive 3D space as visualization, from the research, I found that many such kind of work is much more tend to structural or conceptual, e.g. aims to give a sense of astonishment by playing the scaling; oppositely, I rather focus on the form of narration within the 3D space.

Method:• To construct a 3D world and use the texture mapping method to map IMAGE and Video on the

surface of the 3D model.

• The 3D space is not a concrete space but a space construct by different space and time.

• The IMAGE / VIDEO is a collage of different places and then later map on the model as a texture, in order to fulfill the whole space.

• Controlling sound by tracking the 3D world camera position.

Concept Reference:1) Silent Hill• http://www.frozentears.net\

• A space of mind in an concrete space “Silent Hill”

• The fog maintain an mysterious atmosphere

• Large Scale commercial work

• An alternative map, the top of the map is not often pointing to North.

• Some Road is blocked / open after traversed (A morphing Space via time)

2) New Media Installation Arrival 2004 (by Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar)

• http://www.kaiserworks.com/duoframe/duoarrival.htm

• Rivalry 2003 Non interactive version of arrival

• A spatial-temporal puzzle

• A collage of different scene in the famous game SIM City

• The design of SIM city is very much mimicking the reality, from the character to the visualizati

on of the work, the camera language, is very much similar to the reality.
