HyPod (a viewing interface for HyGrid) HyGrid is a digital art piece made collaboratively by many different artists around the globe. Instead of a single creative mind that gives birth to a finished work, there are dozens of artists creating together in a continued visual dialogue. HyGrid lives in its own, hyperdimensional, virtual world. It cannot be viewed at once in its whole, but we can navigate inside it, unfolding and sliding HyGrid patterns in a bidimensional screen, like the one in our personal computer. examples of unfolding patterns: Traversing the hyperdimensional world we can find complex paths, loops, dead ends and dimensional knots. Of course, for the artists that create HyGrid, an "end" is just another possible beginning, and in fact, we can return to one of those grid borders some time later and find a whole new world where there was nothing before. HyGrid's pictorial universe is always expanding. navigating inside HyGrid: With HyPod, a group of people gathered in the same physical location can navigate collaboratively through HyGrid. Using their bodies as an interface, they can experience how it feels to collaborate and interact with other participants in the process of viewing the work. If they want, they can also take a step further and collaborate in the making of the images, and even with the work concept itself.
