3D simulations inside a virtual recreation of Eyebeam Building 15 (multi-artist commission)

Island Physics is an exhibition and 3D-simulation project by Studio A N F, Chris Woebken and Sascha Pohflepp, delivered in 2014 at Eyebeam's house on Governors Island, New York, USA. The show commissioned a series of computer simulations by 3D artists Kai Kostack, Mohamad Zeina, Gottfried Hofmann, Tayfun Ozdemir and Andreas Nicolas Fischer, running inside a virtual recreation of Eyebeam's Building 15. It is a collaboration between Studio A N F and Eyebeam Art + Technology Center.

Chris Woebken, Sascha Pohflepp and Andreas Nicolas Fischer will spend their time on Governors Island commissioning a series of computer simulations that will run within a meticulous virtual recreation of Building 15. The individual simulations are being created by a selection of 3D artists who form part of a community that is exploring the aesthetics of simulation in the context of contemporary computer graphics, often disseminating their work on social media rather than in an academic context. These participating artists include: Kai Kostack, Mohamad Zeina, Gottfried Hofmann, Tayfun Ozdemir and Andreas Nicolas Fischer.
