Mockingbird Hill, Airlock Park is a virtual space composed of image loops, topographical elements, and animated wireframes. It runs on a Sony PlayStation 3, and the space is fully navigable by the viewer. The video above shows a sample fly-through.

This is the first installment in what will be an interconnected set of virtual spaces, collectively titled Airlock Park. The term airlock is meant here to imagine a zone of transition between void and collective being. It is a space for individuation, for encounters with the histories of past journeys, and the pensive embarkation upon difference.

The next installment, tentatively titled Rebel Yell, Airlock Park, will be forthcoming in Autumn 2008.

Installation Notes: The work is viewed on a widescreen HDTV (720p) screen, which is connected to a PlayStation 3 previously prepared with custom software. Navigating the space is done using the PS3 controller. The work does have sound, though it is quiet. The installation environment must be dim.
