For video animaiton with sound, please visit:http://www.surfacecities.com/student_projects/ling/project_ling.htmlWhile an average commuter in New York City spends about 40 minutes to
travel to work, extreme commuters spend 90 or more minutes each way. By
spending at least 3 hours a day on transportation, traveling a distance
more than 150 miles, these commuters not only receive an unique daily
experience, but also as a whole form a particular image of the city,
greatly expending the conventional conception about the realm of
urbanity. By extracting Google Earth images, a daily commuting of a
single commuter is represented as a sequential trajectory into a
dreamscape. The route gets linearized and then tangled up, and time is
prolonged while space is compressed (or the other way around). Adding
the fourth dimension of time onto the three-dimensional simulative
environment, this project creates a virtual space / time based upon the
perception of an urban commuter.
