“Welcome to my room”: Reconstructing and connecting time in different time zones in one 3D virtual space

* * The content has been kept evolving…and still it will, in parallel, I’m trying to fix lots of errors from running the game (?) in web browser via WebGL + Unity platform. (It runs perfectly fine on my local)

Overview

“Welcome to my room”

Initially I was imagining of installing a room scale huge video projection installation in white empty and dark space similar to an art project by Bruce Nauman (“Mapping the Studio II with color shift, flip, flot, & flip/flop (Fat Chance John Cage)”

Motivation

- Started from the question “How do we feel the time? Can we recreate the way to perceive the time?”

- 24 hrs compressed into 3 min 34.16 sec

- Visit via web: https://github.mit.edu/pages/yun-choi/room/

(WiP for optimizing it to run on web…)

Press ‘Space bar’ for changing the camera view (currently offers 4 different views)

(WiP for adding interactive components; player controller, time speed control, sound effect etc.)

Inspirations:

The question we asked during the class “How can we feel the time?”
Art exhibition, 24 Hour Psycho, by Douglas Gordon, and the process of creating the exhibition shown below.
