Lunar Trails by Seb Lee-Delisle

This installation project by Artist Seb Lee-Delisle is a console that allows visitors to play to the classic arcade game Lunar Lander. As they continue to play, the gadget connected to the console would plot movements of the player's in-game avatar in ink on canvas. The process resulted in a beautiful abstract image. This multimedia installation combines art technology and performance and is a totally new and interesting collaborating effort. You can watch a video of the image’s creation here.

“The result is something that works on a few different layers. On one hand, the whole project is a crowd-gathering interactive experience–a work about “the process of the creation of the image,” Lee-Delisle explains. But it’s also about that image itself, and while anyone who walks up will be able to recognize the unexpected, abstract beauty that the installation is deriving from the game, fewer might consider that what they’re seeing is actually data viz in its purest form.”
