Ars Electronica Festival · 2006
TARTARUS
by Alan Price
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2006
In 2006, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “TARTARUS” by Alan Price (Interactive Art) with a Honorary Mention.
TARTARUS is a real time 3D simulation in which the viewer interacts with a virtual character. Traversing an infinite interior structure of dark rooms and dilapidated staircases, the “absurd man” is destined to carry his burden in the form of a wooden chair throughout the space, guided by the viewer’s prompts.
