shared folder

2023

The shared folder is an experiment that explores the disorienting experience of browsing the homogenized interface of a macOS file system. This virtual mocking system embodies this disorientation by transforming its flat 2D origin into a 3D space.

Visitors can create, move, and rename folders just like they would interact with a normal file system. All modifications to the folders will be permanent and live-broadcasted to all other online visitors.

Inspired by John Palmer’s article on Spatial Interface.

update: The databse writing function is currently closed, newly created folders won’t be stored in the databse anymore.
