No Matter

"Scott Kildall is cross-disciplinary artist who writes algorithms that transform various datasets into 3D sculptures and installations. Victoria Scott is a visual artist who works with electronic media, sculpture and social relations, both materially and as conceptual metaphor. 

No Matter is an interactive installation that activates the transformation of imaginary objects through the Second Life virtual economy into physical space. Second Life builders construct replicas of famous buildings, luxury goods and custom-designed objects, first reproducing, then inverting the notion of value itself. With zero cost for gathering resources, production of goods and transport of finished product, these items proliferate widely and quickly. In the real world, consumer items and imaginary objects serve as forms of emotional attachment — projection screens for desire, fear and love. A 3D-simulated space, combined with a virtual currency and social interaction, Second Life is a fully functioning economy of the immaterial." -- from Turbulence
