about virtual city of the sun

here are about 1000 photographs of city of the sun, all taken around high noon during april 2008, and space-ially related on these dynamically generated webpages.

there are 8 views around each location, the compass shows your current heading.  click any view to turn and face in that direction, or click the front view to go forward if possible - "doorways" are framed in green.

i could've done this project very nicely with a high-res camera and quicktime-vr, but the skews, seams, gaps, and raw condition of these images very nicely invoke many real realities of the city of the sun in many dimensions, so i've let it be this way for now...

my home-made virtual webserver is part of netsofa, written in hypercard 241, running in mac os 755 on a very nice old 100% solar-powered powerbook 540.  (if the virtual server is down, please try again a little later :)
