Tiles Revisited, 2023-2024


Medium:
WebGL 3D online simulation

Project Description:
Tiles Revisited is a series of two web based simulations (Lot#1 and Lot #2) that revitalizes an ancient tile by re-imagining the way we can experience it online using Unity WebGL. Resembling a labyrinth, a single tile is transformed from a 2D image into an extruded 3D landscape that one can navigate and be immersed in. This style of storytelling looks to the future of archiving by inviting the world into an accessible interactive way of learning the history of a single ancient tile. While each corner may seem like a detour, you will be immersed in the architectural design of each tile, where a small brush stroke becomes a colossal wall motif.  This project was generously funded by the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario.
