The site is not that bad visually, thru that the surfing is mostly difficult... Very challenging piece, intriguing, very good I say. By the way, Rudy von Bitter Rucker wrote "the fourth dimension" a essay on goemetry which goes in a opposite direction. Next projet maybe. </p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1094167 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1094167 Comments Wed, 16 May 2007 22:37:45 -0500 <p>Hey Bob, stop being so pedantic. Its the closest to 2d living we can really get in these bodies: you can't pass another person, you can only move on 2 axes... Besides, its pretty insane as a construction in its own right: a 2 foot sliver of a four story building.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1093193 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1093193 Comments Tue, 15 May 2007 16:48:27 -0500 <p>If you don't like hipsters, move back to the burbs, man!</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092575 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092575 Comments Mon, 14 May 2007 19:57:44 -0500 <p>they should have gotten a web designer to live in 2D with them, that website is clunky and horrible.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092546 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092546 Comments Mon, 14 May 2007 19:08:28 -0500 <p>Why all the haters? We Americans take our spacious living environments and privacy totally for granted (even tiny NYC apts are roomy compared to places in Tokyo), and as the world becomes more and more overpopulated, our realities will become more cramped. Sure, you can look at this as a dumb hipster experiment, but with a little perspective it's also possible to see this as an interesting step towards studying the effects of extreme living environments. (Though I do agree that labelling the whole thing "two-dimensional" is a stupid gimmick.)</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092492 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092492 Comments Mon, 14 May 2007 18:22:04 -0500 <p>I wish they can stuff all annoying hipsters into these "two-dimensional living arrangements" and dump them in the ocean.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092388 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092388 Comments Mon, 14 May 2007 17:05:26 -0500 <p>This is probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092319 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092319 Comments Mon, 14 May 2007 16:21:24 -0500 <p>Have we learned nothing from the Biosphere 2?</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092304 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/05/14/inhabiting_flat.php#comment-1092304 Comments Mon, 14 May 2007 16:09:23 -0500 <p>I don't think they understand what two-dimensional means.</p>
