LOST DIMENSION D'STRICT 2024
'Lost Dimension, D’strict' is a large-scale, site-specific adaptation specially developed for the ARTE MUSEUM in Chengdu by D’strict. For this 360-degree version, all surfaces of a 35-by-13-meter exhibition space are fully projected upon, creating an extraordinary interactive cinematic experience of unprecedented scale.
This highly immersive environment, with projection surfaces seamlessly extending across all walls and the floor, brings the original concept of the work, the physical experience of an unfolding 3D world that expands infinitely in all directions, to a whole new level. As the audience is not only looking at an image but is physically completely surrounded by it.
The digital city representation is created by scripts that are automatically harvesting this data from Google Street View’s API. This generated interactive 3D data cloud is both abstract and realistic at the same time a vast, procedurally generated landscape where online data from real-world streets reverberates.
