Apartment >> Marek Walczak Martin Wattenberg An interactive conversation between space and user(s). ---------------------- ||| HIAFF 3.0 | university of colorado | department of art and art history | digital arts area | in conjunction with alt-x | atlas | blurr intro artwork interviews (Martin Wattenberg) ------------------------ < cyborg-cell.ves [Intro] Apartment is the structural representation of written text. It is an experiment in construction of thought through a technological means. As the user types in his or her feelings, fears, or emotions, a design plan for those senses is built. On one level, a conversation forms between the user and the created space. As the typing continues the interaction grows. Often the interactions are very personal and intimate, such as one's own physical space might be. This personal space, however, is subject to the larger dialogue. That dialogue being the city in which the space will preside. Once left, the apartment is open to anyone. People are able to change the conversation, or continue the one already present. Nevertheless, any actions alter the original space, and thus alter the interaction. The city itself is a sea of glimpses into the personal spaces and discussions.
