Doors and Walter Benjamin

2007

This project uses Walter Benjamin's critique of the arcade as a model from which to critique the door of Second Life. The project progressed through multiple readings of the virtual door and the space that it connects. The outcome is a virtual door that weaves together the self-referential readings of the door. This creates a door that contradicts the logic of door and focuses, through extension, the transition through the door.
