"Watercouleur Park" - Qubo Gas, Tate Museum

From the Tate site I visited the "Watercouleur Park", which I found to be peaceful and entertaining in a way that one could find doing yoga entertaining, or actually the pleasure created by actually going to a real park. But this window into the mind of the artist, by French artists group Qubo Gas, is an experience all on to itself. With its cut and paste style that is able to rotate in a 3 dimensional space, it tends to remind me of the Beatles "Sargent Peppers" movie in its style. Overall its seems a complete package, due to its simple purpose this may have not been hard to achieve but I believe that this is why it works, it does not overreach its boundaries. The use case scenario, as I see it, is to achieve a sense of traveling to and from sections of a virtual park which involves moving through white space in order to reach these small sections of park that include clusters of cut and paste drawings of plants and clouds that resemble scenes from any corner of any park that you might stumble upon. You navigate through these areas by moving the mouse around on the screen. When you are at the cluster of plant shape, the cursor in the bottom left hand of the screen makes the cluster zoom out and rotate and to zoom in and rotate you move the cursor to right upper part of the screen. After a certain amount of time the program move on to a new cluster of plant drawings. The distance between the two areas is a expanse of white space that creates movement with flowing shapes either moving up or down in order to create this important aspect of the virtual park, the idea of space and travel that reflects the actual experience of going to a park, the act of traveling and discovering unseen areas of wonder.
