Earthquake Preparedness #14

Description

Earthquake Preparedness ( Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven ) by Chris Eugene Mills 2016, remastered 2023 // =================================== When the weight of an unattainable city skyline is pressed upon a person, it becomes a wall. This project was the beginning of my experimentation with digital painting and orthographic '2.5D' layout. I had been doing moiré line studies for a year or two by this point, but a meme of Windows XP's famous window painting glitch, some exploration of hand-drawing in this early-gaming isometric layout, and an ongoing penchant to collect floorplans from architecture blogs on Tumblr led to this tonal study. Likely made after a revelatory WALLPAPERS exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery, giving lift to my mind toward the feasibility of a digital art practice. Earthquake Preparedness was previously exhibited at 'untitled' art space and the City Hall Skytrain Station in Vancouver in 2016. // Guide // ========================== It's wallpaper, or a screensaver, no qualms about it. Some iterations of this work are quite slow, but please allow the cityscape to evolve. Meant to be displayed in landscape 16:9, and fullscreen. Scales to high DPI displays. There's a very rare "Zoning: Undeveloped" feature which looks like a bug, but it's not :D Tested on Chrome 116, Firefox 117. // Keyboard Interaction // =========== press [s] = save a PNG screenshot press [g] = save a 5sec GIF hold [t] = TURBO BUTTON press [r] = restart with same seed press [n] = restart anew press [1-6] = adjust DPI and restart (1920x1080 - 11520x6480) // URL Parameters // ================= [scale] = float, DPI (adaptive) [preload] = 0/1, loading screen (true) [build] = integer, buildings in preload (100)
