The hybrid space of the
installation consists of two " real " physical
extensions jointly laid out in Helsinki and
Palermo and of a " virtual " digital part, which
will join together these two points of the sphere,
in the 25th time zone.
The
space of the installation
is composed of a 2x2m unfolded cube whose vertical
surfaces are projection screens, one of them
presents the interactive
video and other presents the real time 3D
space compound by the visitor's interaction.
The
two horizontal surfaces correspond to the two
cities and the interactive
surface permitting to interact with the
display. One of them represented with dashed
lines on the ground symbolises the other city's
space, the one connected to the first through
the display. Both spaces are united in the numerical
representation where they can fit to form a
cube, the hybrid cube,
hybrid between Palermo and Helsinki, between
real and virtual.
