"We are living in a world that is connected with real interaction with real people, but we spend ever more increasing amount of time on the internet, creating this virtual world that deals with pretty much everything we do in real life. We constantly engage and interact with each other through this virtual space, and the current technology have gotten to the point where we can virtually navigate real life street and see what´s out there without bothering to go out and actually see. Virtual City is a visualization of the current topography of this virtual world called the World Wide Web. Using Google Sketch-up Pro, Rhinoceros and 3d printing, virtualized real-life buildings were re-realized, combined with the initials of the most well established communities on the Internet. The heights of the individual buildings reflect on the estimated unique monthly visitors of the web site that was combined with the building, thus creating an illustration of combined structures of virtual and real world." -Virtual City by Sang Un Jeon- ...well, nothing more I could add to that--- I just felt like I had to put this on my blog, and then share it with you on facebook, twitter and google, before maybe also mailing it with hotmail and gmail to some friends... gosh, maybe time I also go watch the REAL midnight nordic sun now!! ;-)
