Data Verse Taipei 02

"Data-Verse Taipei 02" by the artist collective 2ENTER visualizes the vast flow of online data, transforming it into a large-scale virtual map of Taipei. By capturing and integrating images and information from various districts, the artwork presents human geography, natural landscapes, socioeconomic dynamics, and daily activities as a virtual camera moves across the scene. Real-time online data—such as traffic, weather, and trending searches—serves as parameters that influence objects on the screen. These objects interact through physical collisions and information exchange, forming a dynamic digital ecosystem resembling a rhizome. By merging visible and invisible data, the artwork interprets Taipei’s urban network behavior, unveiling its complexity as a living digital matrix.
