Transformation Gas

Edward Hopper’s Gas (1940), rebuilt as a virtual landscape that tries to keep the painting’s mood. The virtual landscape is a backdrop.

2011 Games Table

A man in blue coveralls walks away in a sparse, blurry interior with tools on a table and a bright opening beyond.

The anonymous characters seem downcast, abandoned, lost in their own thoughts. Interaction stays ambiguous. What carries is melancholy, quiet, and distance. The piece was recorded live in a game-engine editor, camera positions changed by shortcut.
