I'm working on the definition of my first VR project called Labirinto. This reference comes from the representation of the world according to the italian geographer Franco Farinelli.

Context
El proyecto Labirinto consiste en una experiencia en VR donde la perspectiva o, mejor dicho, la profundidad en el eje Z aparece alterada.
Además del eje Z, la escala de los elementos del espacio no corresponde con el mundo real sino a nuevas reglas propuestas en ese entorno virtual que las personas deben descubrir.
La inspiración de este proyecto viene de la pintura del Trecento italiano y de las teorías del geógrafo italiano Franco Farinelli sobre la representación del mundo a través del mapa.
Para Farinelli,, la complejidad del mundo actual ya no se puede representar en un mapa. Debemos representar la Tierra como lo que es, "una esfera o, como mínimo, un laberinto, es decir, la traducción plana de la esfera". (El mundo, el mapa, el laberinto; Franco Farinelli)
Creative process and materials
To me it is very complex to create a three-dimensional object in a way other than through the computer. Since I have experience in 3D modelling, I started to model several boobs with the Blender program so they could be 3D printed.
When it comes to 3D printing materials, filament is the most accessible option. Above all, I wanted not to use plastics. Today there are already filaments that contain 30-40% non-plastic material such as wood, cork, coffee or mollusk shell. Trying to go further, I discovered a 100% biodegradable filament called AllPHA filament by colorFabb. I did a test with it and the result was very good. I also hope it will degrade over time.
For the climbing wall layouts I am currently deciding on the materials: they will either be biodegradable or made from waste.
Full-scale climbing wall with materials from waste or biodegradable where the holds are breasts of different sizes. Visitors could climb the piece attached to a harness to avoid falls.
