SLIDERS_lab [F. Curien, J.-M. Dallet, T. Guibert,Figure templates for cyberspace: image-contacts
It seems that fictional forms of reality directed through interactive devices is a result of general outlines. Depending on the individual subject, these models may engender drawing conceived as paths in data zones. The map thus becomes the template for depicting imaginable relationships within these topologies and to project the action into landscapes. However, if the map frees itself from its relation to the physical territory, or opens itself to the flow of the mobility of these constituent elements, it is then that a new physics is called upon, quantum physics, to which both author and reader must refer in order to 'direct' the interactive scenario.
Henceforth multidimensional maps have become «configurable», generating grouping of elements which share a certain kinship. These groups which are built up according to user requirement, are subject to the laws of convergence and convexity, the monitoring of their constituent elements themselves fully capable of reacting to the laws of probability. Within these spaces, a pattern of the relations would be utopian bearing in mind the multiplicity and complexity of potential pick-ups.
By embracing the SLIDERS collective interactive cinema experience, in the present article we shall venture to take a look at several «image-relationships», which construct mobile architecture images architectures which may be explored in all spatial dimensions. In this way one visually traces the length of the surface of images whose shapes are by then nothing more than program variables. SLIDERS models the forms according to the visual information appearing on the screen. It builds the mobile architecture of image which can be explored in all spatial dimensions. Thus the architecture paradigms are cylindrical, cubic, hexagonal, dodecahedral etc. They are mathematical structures, abstract grids on whose mesh occasional digital elements hook up, in other terms, devices suggesting to those viewing, the very means to grasp the functioning of notions of flow and interconnection.
