Infinity Town Phase I: Paper Village
Fusebox Festival and Big Medium commissioned this piece, as part of a larger installation and performance at the Arrive Hotel for the 2019 East Austin Studio Tour. As part of the performance, I created a functional walk-through of Infinity Town, my idealized city, where I someday hope to live. Recently, a new iteration of Infinity Town was completed, for inclusion in the Currents New Media 2021 festival, as a playable virtual piece. Infinity Town is the ever-expanding container for my world-building efforts. The future evolution of Infinity Town will be rolled out like a housing development, which will debut as ‘phases’. I’ve named this phase, ‘Paper Village’, for obvious reasons. Playable links: Mac Win
This version of Infinity Town, an ongoing project to re-weird Austin, virtually, was created for the East Austin Studio Tour in 2019. It was installed at the Arrive Hotel, as part of the Barn Dance on the Cannibal Cruise Line. This is a recording of a play-through of the game-engine-based piece. I will be re-visiting this piece soon, growing this world, and adding new functionality and character development.
