A dynamic projected sculpture dealing with voyeurism, urban life and non-linear narrative form.
The city is a voyeuristic playground. Urban lives are characterised by a constant interplay of performance and audience, public and private, hidden and on-display. \"9 Waverley Place\" shows us a continuous scrolling view of an urban facade, in which lives and narratives unfold. We are given the view, via optical inversion of the building form, of a continuous non-linear narrative.
 
Personal Statement:We are the best.
Background:Foreground.
Audience:ITP show goers.
User Scenario:A user approaches the sculpture form, activating a projection system onto a concave white background. The user puts on headphones and hear the ambient noise of a city street. A single window light comes on inside the projected building image, and the user\'s attention is directed to that window. The 3D image is then brought to the foreground, bringing the user \'into that room.\' A more localized sound source, highlighting a circumlocutive, non-linear narrative entices the user.
Technical System Description:A projector projects the image of a building onto the face of a concave form, giving the optical illusion of an outward facing building facade.

The projector is run via VirTools on a PC microprocessor computer.
