At the installation in the Lobby of the Altes Rathaus on Linz’s Main Square, visitors can take the plunge into this massive data pool that presents not only a snapshot of a geographical location at a particular moment in time but also records the process of development that has occurred here over time. Three modes of depiction — city maps, orthographic imagery and a textured 3D model—are linked up with functions that enable users to navigate through space and time. The aim has been to prepare and make available a multi-layered, multi-faceted depiction of Linz’s past, present and future urban development— a description that would hardly emerge from the accumulated data and individual historical portrayals alone—and to do so in the form of a mobile installation that constitutes an exploratory and analytical tool at the disposal of local government agencies and citizens. Stadtmodell is an Ars Electronica Futurelab project. Javier Lloret worked on this project as part of Ars Electronica Futurelab. |
