Riley Harmon, ‘What it is without the hand that wields it’ (2008)
As gamers die in a public video game server of a modified version of Counter-strike, a popular online first person shooter, the electronic solenoid valves dispense a small amount of fake blood. The trails left down the wall create a physical manifestation of virtual kills, bridging the two realities. The title is inspired by the Telefon Tel Aviv song of the same name.

‘Landscapes without memory’ by Joan Fontcuberta.
For the project Landscapes without Memory Joan Fontcuberta used software developed by the US Air Force. It translates two-dimensional cartographic data into a simulated three-dimensional image. Instead of feeding maps into the software, in Landscapes without Memory, Fontcuberta inserts painted landscapes: from Gauguin to Van Gogh, from Cezanne to Turner and Constable. The software translates them into new, virtual landscapes.
Hotel Vue des Alpes
‘Hotel Vue des Alpes’ is a fictional, hotel, accessable only through the internet. Visitors can log in to the website, book a room and walk around to enjoy the scenery. You can stay there for a few days (short stay only)… The view from the rooms is breathtaking!
It is a project by Monica Studer and Christoph van den Berg

Nikki Koole, ‘Paterserfflat’ (2006)
Nikki Koole interviewed all the residents of the apartment building where he grew up, and recreated them as 8-bit figures, each programmed to live a normal day in its life. The virtual residents get up, walk the dog, have breakfast, go to work, get home, have dinner and watch tv at exactly the same times as their real-life doppelgangers. This application is beamed on a scale model of the actual building.
Have a look at what happens in the building:
