Meet Space uses the game development platform Unity to create a speculative environment. Existing across screen, sound and physical form, the installation uses words and images to produce a suspended space: a space that traces the experiential slippage between connection/disconnection, reality/construction, and online/offline.
Meet Space is a 3D constructed environment that functions as a zone for contemplation and writing. A body of intimate texts relay experiences of a screen-driven culture, drawing on the real experiences that constructed virtual spaces provide. These texts are placed within the constructed space in the form of sound, becoming an element in a sonic installation that uses reverberation software to simulate space.
Four camera angles, (corresponding with the four monitors), allow access points into the 3D space. A series of prints and sculptural forms allow the space to spill out from the screen, into the physical space of the gallery.
