10,000 Moving Cities - Real Time

Interactive net-based work that allows visitors to see in real time. Shown in Seoul Korea.

From Marc Lee's description:
Visitors can select any city or place, using a digital interface. About the chosen place, the Internet is searched in real time for latest text, image, video and sound informations. Four projectors and eight audio speakers project the results into the space. Visitors are able to walk through the model and experience the information in 3D.

Attracted and inspired by images and sounds, visitors explore the places and perceive fragments of the immense amount of data. Additionally audio and visuals constantly change, they are never the same, always in movement as the place as itself.

Just as all cities in the world are different, so different and alive appear the projections and sounds. Each new request creates always new representations of the real world as a combination of visitors and digital matrix.

User-generated content is the source of the audiovisual information not censored nor chosen by a certain community, rather produced by the public including visitors maybe. Each request enables us to join and actively participate in the social movements of our time.
