Description
Paulo Post Futurum was a big group exhibition to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Lokaal 01, Breda (centre for art, research and exhibitions.) Participating artists were asked to send in work that deals with global issues as war and peace but also personal conflicts like meanness, friendship etc. Especially for this exhibition Danielle Roberts developed the stand alone application Lovescape.
This is a tool to map your loved ones. These may be people, animals, so called lifeless things and even people or animals who have died. From the top bar visitors can drag icons on the Lovescape. All icons, including the heart in the centre, can be named and connected. The finished Lovescape can be printed.
The software also captured screenshots of all the finished Lovescapes. (below)
