World Skin - a photo safari in the Land of War - an Interactive A/V Installation by renowned artist Maurice Benayoun won the golden Nica award at the Ars Electonica Festival in 1997!
It was presented in a 3D-Cave on 6 Screens using OpenGL on SGI workstations. quite a feat for that time.
"World Skin" is a 3 person game. One driver, two photographers.
"Armed with a camera, visitors are placed in a sinister war zone that is visualized on a large projection screen in 3D animation and video. By operating photo cameras visitors may take pictures of the war scenes and experience how the camera becomes a 'weapon' that enables them to wipe out the projected images. Only the outline of the taken picture is left as a silhouette in the projection. Visitors can take a print of the photos they shot with them."
