- 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.
