Dynamic Worlds

Dynamic Worlds is a project that I started working on during winter 2004-2005. I had this idea of using traditional webdev tools (PHP, HTML forms and CSS) to create art pieces that would be interactive, but that would have a more "static" feeling than work produced with action-scripts (Flash).

The exhibition proposes a series of small universes that appear as static web pages on which the subject can act. Under the visual layer lies a model that partly replicates the processes which runs real-life systems. Each piece is unique: by acting on these impalpable canvas, the visitor leaves a trace, thus unconsciously engaging in a dialog with unknown visitors.

Interactive Scenario

The user can act on the system by clicking on one of its parts. Local changes, however, have global effects. The user thus has to act within the constraints implemented in each of the pieces.
