Why it’s interesting

This 2025 Ars Electronica work connects emotion and movement recognition to a changing city model, using fallible computer vision to examine surveillance, public space, and bodily freedom.

Your body appears to reshape a miniature city, but the system's mistakes are part of the point. Misrecognition becomes visible as architecture and behavior.

How to try it

Use the official Ars Electronica archive to view the main image, installation records, and project text. The physical interaction has ended; the documentation remains accessible online.

Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
