project plays with language, which is shifted to a virtual space.
it uses visual metaphors to make the unvisible visible. the structure and navigation of this project is not always logical to reconstruct. the user must more or less experience it in a blind fashion. the surface reacts to the mouse movement of the user and requests he/she to follow their intuitive reflexes. the abstract form of the pages leads to an associative, playful and perceptive form. |
