From this series, JailHead.com (2009/2017) is an ongoing web-based project that recreates in virtual reality the Cuban Presidio Modelo, an abandoned prison built after Bentham's Panopticon penitentiary model. The jail is located on the former Isla los Pinos---an island southwest of Cuba, now named Isla de la Juventud---and was considered a definitive example of efficient prisoner control. It became emblematic for housing historical figures both pre- and post-Cuban Revolution, including Fidel and Raúl Castro.","PeriodicalId":135021,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Art Gallery","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115606348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
