Liquid Sculpture. Gamescape. Create a city while playing the game!

It is visualizing all playing movements of a player as a 3D-sculpture. While as the movements of one player make up a sculpture, all sculptures of all played games of all players are collected on a server and form an entire city: A city consisting of structures which are created by all the gamers' movements. This visualization of structures shows an ever-expanding universe of movements – finished and unfinished – and serves as a starting ground for a new game. 1200 Years of Italian Sculpture.
