"Ghostwalk"
is a dynamic text that is written to be experienced in an immersive
virtual reality environment. This piece is a continuation of another
project called "On
Escape". Ghostwalk is based on various texts from Derrida,
Freud and Benjamin on ghosts, archives, memory and remembrance.
The text mostly refers to Benjamin's Arcades Project which is
a walk through 19th century Paris, modernity, architecture, urban
life as a series of quotes, fragments and excerpts.
The environment is programmed in C++ with OpenGL and CAVElib.
