I made this 3D animation in 2006 when I learned Cinema 4d. The project was born from the idea that everyone’s desktop and computer is their home. It lacks any real story arch and the animations are a little too whimsical for me to be proud of, but I can still get behind the concept. Everyone’s computer is their home and we venture out into the big city of the internet. I still feel this way, and the explosion of social media in the last 4 years has only further solidified the metaphor to me.
What we post online is like the outside of our home, and our desktop and PC is the furniture and decor we rearrange for our personal comfort. we choose the music, curtains, and work on our own projects. Whenever someone sees my screen in a screen cast or over my should I feel like they’re visiting my house. Oh what a mess my desktop is. How embarrassing.
Do you feel like your computer will be your Second-Life/Matrix home?
