devshed

devshed A lightweight build composed entirely of planes. Referencing the extrusions and pressed forms of industrial/prefabricated construction methods, the devshed attempts to express a state of stable collapse, capitalizing on a lack of gravitational force in the online world of Second Life in concert with apparent perceptive mechanisms that have been trained to think otherwise. Thus the build seeks to draw attention to itself by providing a juxtaposition with surrounding structures that attempt to communicate the illusion of permanence and solidity.
