CCTEX: cctv + Counter strike

El proyecto CCTEX gira en torno a las game mods y la ubicuidad de los circuitos cerrados de televisión en la vida diaria de un ciudadano normal. En CCTEX un nivel de Counter Strike es remapeado para ofrecer una perspectiva nueva del espacio de acción, a traves de los ojos de un sistema cerrado de vigilancia.

The environment that the user experiences is coated in imagery drawn from a set of webcams that are positioned strategically around the installation space. Streaming video of the audience and gallery space are translated into textures that paint the modified game architecture. The textures are manipulated during this process to create a semi-abstract reflection of the users' space outside the machine. The viewer is confronted with a distorted vision of themselves and their environment as they interact with the work.
