Concept & implementation by: Sander Veenhof
Launched November 18th 2010 at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
Current expansion into the universe: 17.99 meters
Interactions from 88 countries so far...Current expansion into the universe: 17.99 meters
Biggâr consist of 7.463.185.678 virtual blocks encapsulating the whole earth, a huge virtual sculpture around the world. These blocks are located in a virtual rigid pattern all over the world, allowing to view the piece from anywhere. The project is expanding by one meter each day so that at some point, the blocks will be so high in the sky that they are not visible anymore. Viewers have to view Biggâr quickly, before it expands out of sight.
The Biggâr sphere is also the biggest interactive artwork in the world, making it an instant collaborative augmented space through a continuous series of color changing acts by individuals worldwide. There is a registry in real time at Biggâr web that follows the continuos color change and where and who in the world made it...The interaction is only possible with a particular mobile phone...what makes the interaction kind of restricted...Anyway it's another beautiful idea involving the whole world just by pushing a botton.
