Blobworld is a Game where you can find and collect clothes and accassories. When you find an item you can purchase it physically as well.

 

You are about to enter Blobworld, a place in between the digital and physical. As you venture into this stran-ge but fammiliar world you will encaunter several items to help you on your journey. These items have the power to transcend from your screen into the physical realm, where you can continue your adventure with other players.This project is a proposition to see digital environments and objects not as a sepperate part of society but on a equal level with physical spaces and objects, expanding our idea of reality.I reflect this in my working method, I scan physical items and use the textures and forms that are transfor-med by the software in my final design. Working from both physical as digital to create an aesthetic that is universal to bring these worlds together.

 

In Blobworld online shopping is also approached differently. You play the game to be able to buy your desi-red item. So instead of ending up in a raffle, refreshing your browser in the hope to get the item you want or have the money to buy the item for resale prise, leaving it up to chance and money. Your skills and dedication decide your purchase
