Viewers are confronted with a blinking cursor. As they cuMarc, rooms begin to take shape in the form of a two-dimensional plan, similar to a blueprint. The architecture is based on a semantic analysis of the viewer’s words, reorganizing them to reflect the underlying themes they express. The apartments are clustered into buildings and cities according to their linguistic relationships. Each apartment is translated into a navigable three-dimensional dwelling, thus contrasting between abstract plans/texts and experiential images/sounds.
