A view of Authored Spaces: Old North Church from Second Life
This Second Life based installation is the first in a new series of digital work that explores how people engage with and define place. My interest lies in the abutting space that surrounds well known places. Living a block up the street from the Old North Church this seemed like a logical place to start. I engage more with the surrounding businesses and walkways than I do the church itself. I wanted to present the church in a way that captured my level of engagement. What I found is as groups of people move through this space they spend more time walking around or away from the place than they do within.
