Genese

Genèse is a curious object that doubles as a rotating globe. As it rotates an interactive tablet on its axis—one rotation per day—the tablet displays an offbeat retelling of the seven days of creation of the world. This generative landscape is altered and modified according to the interactions that people have with the tablet: a simple contact with the screen disrupts the natural cycle of creation of mountains, animals, humans, rivers, and trees.
