The Legible City
Jeffrey Shaw (AUS)

The user can ride a stationary bicycle through a simulated representation of an urban setting consisting of computer-generated letters. The real architecture is replaced by one consisting of text, and the journey through this urban space becomes a literary excursion. The texts have been conceived as discrete narratives, each of which has its own specific geographic setting within the urban sphere. Accordingly, the virtual city is a three-dimensional book that can be read in any sequence and in which each person encountering it construes his/her own meaning.

Collection of the ZKM Media Museum, Karlsruhe (D)
