Origin, 2006

xxxxxOrigin is a programmed object that ‘reads’ The Origin of Species through Natural Selection by Charles Darwin, line by line. It is a deliberately simple, sober and flat textual element rooted within the abundantly visual environment of SecondLife.

xxxxxDarwin’s first-person narrative creates a space through which to rethink the indigenous flora and fauna, and at a deeper level, the underlying computational models that beget the experience of virtual space.
