Sizigia.net – ECOSYSTEM : the conceptual and technical elaboration of four environments that compose the project’s media ecosystem — Frontera Island, on the Usumacinta River, Chiapas Mexico; Sizigia_Island, Second Life, Siziga_augmented, Google Earth; and, Sizigia.net— and the network protocols —technological, …
The SIZIGIA project began with an open competition to develop a Mixed Reality public space for the contemporary art collective Laboratorio Curatorial 060: “transforming the conventionally passive role of the cultural apparatus from one that invents meaning, into an instrument …
REZ: To rez, in the context of contemporary 3-D multi-user environments, is to create or to make an object appear. Rezzing an object (or prim, short for primitive object) can be done by dragging a pre-existing object from a database …
Elements: earth, air
Images were projected both into a remarkable gallery space (Door Studios in the 11è arrondissement of Paris) and onto a singular physical object. The object in question served as both projection screen, sculptural form. The space allotted by the curators …
Virtual worlds are synchronous, persistent network of people interacting in a physically coherent spatial environment, represented as avatars, facilitated by networked computers.

Sizigia.net: SIZIGIA becomes a laboratory for digital experimentation and representational practices, an interface, a place of reunion for inworld users, a platform for further questioning of the potential of this virtual environment. Neither isolated technologies nor homogeneous solution, but a multiplicity of spatial (building, sculpture…), artistic (image, video, sound…) and social (social networking, meeting, collaboration…) tools.
REZ/FAB/REV is REZzing a complex digital model and FABricating it through the accumulation of successive material layers, a process through which its meaning can be REVealed. The REZ/FAB/REV Mixed Reality infrastructure is a computational machine for the synthesis of project …
