Parallel Cityscapes

By Jaanis Garancs and James Tunick

Parallel Cityscapes (PC) is an interactive audiovisual environment that imagines the future of the personal computing while revealing the "hidden" spaces and relationships between memories. PC depicts the parallels between modern cities and future memory spaces, representing an archive of millions of user-generated photographs, video sequences, drawings and computer graphics from the Web, from mobile devices, and from public spaces. Each scene is a dynamic, algorithmically generated, stereoscopic, urban landscape with multidimensional hyperlinks that offer gateways to "parallel" scenes. This mind-bending journey is a breathtaking visual paradox between real and virtual, imagining a future in which 3D browsers and media spaces merge with real cities and encourage more advanced forms of collaboration.
