X-SEED 4000
2004
Tobias BERNSTRUP presents a interactive video, X-Seed 4000, named after the highest building ever planned. At once a utopian fantasy and a project to be achieved in the next 30 years, the 'tower' would stand 4000 meter high and would house one million people on its 800 floors. Built on water in the Tokyo bay, its conic shape recalls that of Mount Fuji-Yama. The 'player' of the video can wander through a deserted cityscape, with neither cars nor pollution nor human presence.
