World Skin
by Maurice Benayoun, Jean-Baptiste Barrière
🏆 Golden Nica · Prix Ars Electronica 1998
Maurice Benayoun and Jean-Baptiste Barrière's “World Skin” was honoured with the Golden Nica at the Prix Ars Electronica 1998, category Interactive Art.
In "World Skin" by Maurice Benayoun and Jeap-Baptiste Barrière, we are making our way through a three-dimensional space, armed with cameras. The landscape before our eyes is scarred by war - demolished buildings, armed men, tanks and artillery, piles of rubble, the wounded and the maimed.
