The experiments allowed me to test the limitations of my tools and allowed me to understand the extent of what is achievable within the set parameters. Each experiment is documented and analyzed in terms of the ultimate goal of the project - perception of space. This process represents my practice based research.The research conducted weaved between various fields and subjects including the phenomenon of projected visuals, art theory, 360 degree panoramas, performances and happenings, as well as works that combine engineering, technology and art. The project was inspired by the idea of dimensions and Edwin A. Abbott\u2019s satirical novella Flatland and was synthesized within a framework of simple geometry.The following pages are a report of how this project came to life, explaining the various shapes and forms it has been through, the experiments and research that were conducted and the final form of the project as it will be presented in TENT Gallery in Rotterdam."}, "9234": {"Website": "http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/User:Fako_Berkers/Fako_Berkers,_WWWonopo.ly,_2012", "Description": "People will immediately recognize the game as a variant upon Monopoly.

WWWonopo.ly aims to make these risks visible and tangible, in a playful, funny and confronting manner. == Links ==* http://v2.infrae.com/archive/works/wwwonopo.ly/"}, "9230": {"Website": "http://monoskop.org/", "Description": "Monoskop is a collaborative wiki research on the history of media art and culture.", "Creator": "Du\u0161an Barok", "Title": "Monoskop_Library", "Thumbnail_url": "http://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/d/d1/Monoskop_Logo.png", "Date": "2012", "Thumbnail": "Monoskop Logo.png"}}
