in the british town of milton keynes, miguel chevalier has installed a generative and interactive virtual-reality installation that creates an immersive atmosphere of color and shapes. ‘magic carpet’, a project first presented in 2014, comprises a spectrum of multicolored graphic scenes composed of thousands of patterns, pixels, cells, and geometries. visitors are invited to explore and walk on the kaleidoscopic carpet, changing its characteristics as they move around the space.
