Prix Ars Electronica 2002: Award of Distinction / Net Vision

A project study on the visualization of the complex and correlating economic, political and social systems of a network-linked global society. ./logicaland is a collective simulation game based on a global world model developed in the ‘70s that has been taken out of its original context and adapted into a participative online game. In rounds of play lasting up to 22 hours, financial and natural resource endowments of 185 states—proceeding from “real” initial values from the year 2000—can be manipulated in an interdependent world system.
