10.000 moving cities - same but different, Version 4, 2016

10.000 Moving Cities — Same but Different by the Swiss artist Marc Lee deals with the topics urbanization and globalization in the digital age. The VR installation shows the simulation of a generic urban landscape visualized on basic cubes, who’s image and soundscapes are generated in real time by material from social networks such as Flickr, YouTube, Freesound and Twitter, posted publicly by others. The installation is a window to the world that invites us to take a virtual journey over the globe and to experience constantly new image and sound collages in which one experiences local, cultural and linguistic differences and similarities. Impressively Lee’s work addresses how places continuously change and increasingly resemble one another in a globalized world.
