#Dust’ is a 1:1 scale replica of one of the most played computer game maps in the world. The idea is to build the 3D model of ‘de_dust’ of the first person shooter game ‘Counter Strike’ as a permanent ‘building’ from concrete, making this map accessible as a large scale public sculpture.

The bizzare experience of exploring a beloved and familiar space in a way completely alien, and i imagine extrememly disturbing. An architecture designed for combat and balanced gameplay by murderous armies who can jump two meters vertical. The flow is based on line of sight and improbable crates.

“1H” is a workshop and intervention piece for public space. In a one day workshop a group of participants builds paper weapon models extracted from the online computer game “World of Warcraft”. Oversized axes, swords and other archaic weapons are recreated in the exact 3D shape in physical space. Each participant builds his favorite one handed (1H) weapon from large inkjet plotts. In the public intervention the actor/participant carries the weapon model without ‘using’ it. The axe / sword becomes part of every day life in public space while taking the metro or going to a store.

In the Paid tour you are rigged with Hollywood gunshot pads that bang and spray blood when you are too close to a killing.
This takes artefacts of grim reality and emebeds them into a gamified, surprising ubiquitous device. Keep laughing.
GOOD MORNING! Levi Mandel
Covert photographs of unprepared people printed, mangled again, and then scanned.
An accident-an artifact- an incident and finally a result.
