urtzi grau, guillermo fernández-abascal, and daniel perlin overlap machine and human vision through an immersive dome which allows visitors to experience the vision of an autonomous, self-driving vehicle. by providing visitors with the car’s point of view, the streets of seoul are revealed through overlapping and dissonant perceptions. the installation also helps to identify the areas of the city that will need to be redesigned in the immediate future.

the project was produced for the seoul biennale of architecture and urbanism in 2017, utilizing an eight meter diameter dome with 360 visuals developed with the support of univeristy of technology sydney, rice university and ocular robotics.
