TEMPLE OF BECOMING · ART & SCIENCE GAME
WERDUNGSWERK
DESKTOP · OFFLINE · AR · HEIGHT IS STAGE
An art & science game about how works come into being – from notion to thing, as a personal hybrid experience across space and time in 3D and AR, based on the Sketchfab collection ART GAMES MW.
18 experiments · seven becomings · one trace of your own
You are a spark in the stream beneath the temple. Height is stage: at the bottom the stream, above it seed, schema, sketch, simulation, model and thing. At first each of the 41 works shows only its seed; a glowing ring marks the next stage. Fly to the column, rise to the height of that stage and solve its experiment – the work becomes a little more real and the next level appears. Whoever carries seven works to the thing opens the oculus. Your flight path writes a trace of its own; at the end both become a cabinet of wonders – every work you touched at the stage it reached with you, as GLB and USDZ for AR.
