Toward a Digital Horizon

Abstract

Toward a Digital Horizon aims to delve into the evolution and corruption of the landscape, questioning the limits of the digital medium and humanity’s impact on the world’s finite resources when interacting with a digital environment. It is considered that interactivity can help to understand possible vices and flawed structures existing in the formulation of urban and natural landscapes and that it is possible to relate the order imposed by the public with the chaotic ramifications of simulation. This art-based research is also developing an interactive artwork. As the participant moves through the landscape, the environment is transformed. Their shadow casts down over their surroundings and scars the landscape. Each action transforms the world, probably prompting questions of what can be done and what kind of agency can be derived without ever imposing any clear narrative.
