The Sunset Valley image simulator (2018–) that serves as the project medium is a web program that recognizes the speed with which contemporary images are produced and consumed. For this project, the base of Sunset Valley users has been expanded to the village level with 22 different artists/artist teams sharing images, which are used to form a limited-time community creating two-dimensional screens. Sunset Valley Village could be seen as a temporary artists’ collective, a kind of web-based “virtual residency” where participants are engaged in a common project. Its activities consist of three stages: the uploading of image data by residents, the creation of images applying pre-set moods to the shared data, and the outputting of the resulting digital images into space in various ways.
