In collaboration with Rebecca Herold
The strolling.club is a web-interspace and future webring, where navigating the web takes the form of a promenade rather than the usual instantaneous commute.
It is a 2D Torus world where websites are placed. While strolling, visitors are able to leave and read notes, chat with people that are spatially close on the map and visit the linked sites.
The goal is to provide a different experience of online movement. While the tendency of the digital is moving towards ever shorter commuting times between content/websites, strolling.club aims to offer a space-time of idleness analog to sitting in the metro or walking between destinations. Possibilities of getting lost, random encounters or explorative walking are being opened because of this anti-efficient form of transportation.
Originally strolling.club was started in collaboration with Rebecca Herold for the sys/net/visible artwork of Francesco Scheffczyk and further developed at Burg Halle in the intermediale Gestaltung class.
