Abstract:: Cubes is a work of digital language art created for the Cave Writing workshop at Brown University, an immersive, interactive 3D-stereo audiovisual environment. This immersive work consists of an interconnected cyclic complex of concentric cubes constructed in the cave. Each cube is cave-sized and movements between cubes are constrained. The text is adapted from the Jorge Luis Borges tale, "The Library of Babel". The artists, poetically, claim to be, "concerned with the charge the chronicle carries contra the containment of a core conveyance in language, in its conceit that it (language) has no exterior, the crafting of the story as a mere copy of some coexistent codex from the comprehensive collection, and the cannibalistic cataclysm it creates for the canon.
Notes:: CAVE Writing
