This series of videos represents an impressionistic take on two years spent in quintessential exurbia: Irvine, California.
“Walking in the City,” (by Adrienne DuComb):
de Certeau discusses walking as a tactic of escaping the dominant culture. He believed that walking permitted voyeurism and observation to fragment and disrupt the immobile order of the city. The city is a network of “nowheres” seeking a proper place. The reader appropriates the geographical system of the city in a way similar to how speech appropriates language. while walking through the city, the readers can take on the role of a flaneur.
The custom scenes, models, and animations were created in 3ds max and rendered as an in-game performance in Torque. The videos are rendered for easy realtime compositing in live VJ or video installations. There are 52 video segments in all.
