Digital Window
Maya, Arnold | 2023 | Digital set design
Final model, rendered in Arnold
“If I really could look out the electronic window of my living room in Boston and see the Alps, hear the cowbells, and smell the (digital) manure in summer, in a way I am very much in Switzerland” (Nicholas Negroponte, “The Post-Information Age”).
Using Maya, I designed a speculative fiction set framing a digital window, a screen which can be hung on the wall. I aimed subtly retrofuturist, placing emerging technology against American interior design of the 1950s and 60s. All assets are my own models.
