Narrative

The particle represents an architect or designer where he/she has the power to create and express their imagination, the architectural machine is the technology more specifically a virtual environment. In the virtual environment the designer/ architect is able to create multiple iterations of a design and implement them into the virtual environment to see whether the design is suitable for the location or if it is aesthetically pleasing.

The video starts in a room where it shows a computer screen viewing a video on YouTube, the video on YouTube shows a clip of New York City. As the video is played the camera then zooms into the screen travelling through a series of codes signifying that the viewer is now travelling from the real world to a virtual environment. After travelling through the series of codes the viewer is then positioned in a virtual environment of New York City, after travelling through the virtual city the viewer gets a glimpse of a building where a particle is formed from the side of it. This particle represents the architect in the real world, being able to create buildings and implementing them in the virtual environment. The particle travels through the city implementing designs throughout the virtual environment, there are scenes where there are flaws in the virtual environment and the scenes flash to a sort of wire frame effect. The particle travels throughout the city until it gets to a suburban street with a vacant plot of land, it is then where the particle creates multiple designs until it decides on a basic form of a house, this is when the camera zooms into one of the windows and leads to a computer/ study room which has a similar layout to the room from the beginning scene. This is where the video ends showing the same scene from which it began.
