Personal rooms are rigidly psychogeographically engineered: in our room we are our own Cesar. Rooms mirror our personality, knowing how people live is an intrinsic part of someone’s privacy. Being invited to visit someone at home for the first time is therefore always a special occasion. Other peoples rooms can make us feel uncomfortable, at ease or stimulated to do something, like leaving…

Here is a relevant quote from AL pioneer Chris Langton: “The ultimate goal of artificial life would be to create ‘life’ in some other medium, ideally a virtual medium where the essence of life has been abstracted from the details of its implementations in any particular model. We would like to build models that are so life-like that they cease to become models of life and become examples of life themselves.”

If it’s possible to grasp the soul of a room and make it available online, either as image or as text, we don’t recreate space, we recreate experience.
