Supervisor commentary

4_D figuration represents the freestyle drawing dimension of an almost archeological Net tool - VRML (virtual reality modeling language). This user-powered cyberlocomotion study investigates a simple idea of drawing as a constellation of points, a minimal network of nodes indicating the molecularity or liquidity of motion of an avatar figure on or behind a barren screen. 4_D figuration researches the free drawing potential of VRML with a twist of fate, namely the figure can disintegrate its normal cybercontrolled zoom, walk and speed modes, at the push of one screen button, causing the figure to dissamble in a heap of abstraction.
