In response to the week’s theme of Tinkering, I created a short animation that shows the concept of a continually changing data flow, with 3D modelling and animation techniques.
By animating a group of rapid colour-changing dots, I wanted to present the concept that the data we created is being collected and continuously updated. The grid, formed by the connections of our data, could be a virtual reflection of our very identity online, where our digital profile could be used to describe ourselves better and more accurately than reality.
Similar concepts are present in Watch Dogs 2, a video game discussing the blurry boundary between the digital world and reality, where players have the power to influence the world by invading in-game digital systems. (Ubisoft, 2016)
