Mariana González: [Dis]placements


[Dis]placements is an interface developed to visualize streaming media trough paths. Thus, the model design and its minimal representation into a three-dimensional environment are used as a navigational resource to perceived and explored packs of information or "events" to access any kind of media type: audio, video-streaming, stills or text. In this way, it is
possible to select two different routes to navigate: one that follows a pre-determinate sequence, that conceive paths defined by the meaning of the contents, and the second one as a non-lineal narrative space, that activate a sequence of indeterminate events, which can be defined by the user by an active interaction.
