Cinema City



A novel look at one potential scenario for the future of moving image / data vis in the built environment, by USC School of Architecture student Jonathan Rennie. This section is especially interesting to me, in a geeky SkyNet kind of way;

"Over time, as they see the same films over and over again and become bored, [the machines] begin to look for QR codes elsewhere, perhaps interpreting barcode-like structures in the landscape at different wavelengths—for instance an infrared foliage rendering may appear to contain QR codes. They seek out new films in this way, perhaps even instructing terrestrial machines, such as the cranes at loading docks or tractors in large farm fields, to construct new QR codes containing new [films] and stories."
