Abstract
Bicycles today are interfaces between civility and nature, between poetics and technological evolution. Jeffrey Shaw's classical piece The Legible City (1989) involves a stationary bicycle in the context of visual poetry, 3D texts, and geometries of uninhabited cities. The Legible City is an interface to virtual worlds. Text-shaped cities are projected and explored by visitors in a journey of reading. Twenty-two years after Shaw's work, one can use a stationary bicycle to travel through richer worlds, which are narrative applications of geography updated periodically such as Google Earth. In this sense students of Animation and Digital Art program at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Toluca, Mexico, developed four process art applications, using and adapting physical interfaces and videogame motion capture devices as their own take on Shaw's work.
今天的自行车是文明与自然、诗意与技术进步的界面。杰弗里·肖(Jeffrey Shaw)的经典作品《易读的城市》(1989)将一辆固定自行车置于视觉诗歌、3D文本和无人居住的几何城市的背景中。易读城市是虚拟世界的界面。文本形状的城市被游客在阅读之旅中投射和探索。在Shaw的工作结束22年后,人们可以使用固定自行车在更丰富的世界中旅行,这些世界是周期性更新的地理叙事应用,比如谷歌地球。从这个意义上讲,墨西哥托卢卡的Tecnológico de Monterrey的动画和数字艺术项目的学生开发了四个过程艺术应用程序,使用和调整物理界面和视频游戏动作捕捉设备作为他们自己对Shaw作品的理解。
