Polygonal City 19

This landscape typifies the architectural style of much of Melbourne's urban fringe, in fact the houses were modelled from photos I saw on a real estate web site. The girl walking along this street is dressed in a pixillated coat with backpack as if she came out of a computer game. The illusion is reinforced by her low polygon count, a method used by game programmers to economise on computer memory. Originally this landscape was to be populated with what one would expect to find in suburbia, however the road signs, cars and shrubs were deleted in favour of a starker minimal geometric composition that imparts a feeling of coldness and alienation.
