ANALOG DIGITAL
We are hunters and gatherers. Constantly wandering and wondering, trying to expand our perception. Shifting more into digital exploring, yet still trying to solve the riddles of the universe.

In digital games our human desire to explore, hunt and gather can be fed. More and more common is the procedure of photogrammetry in the creation of games.

Safiental environment = „hardware“ , gets translated into 3D models (pixels) -> flat 2D screen
