Abstract:
“Quatro Cantos” is an interactive dynamic landscape that represents the Praça do Patriarca in the center of São Paulo at different times. The software was written in Processing and images can be generated using the program. The animation reflects on the process of transformation in the urban landscape, as the vestiges of past times are slowly hidden until they disappear.
