The objective of my research is to create a visualization of a place based on personal
experiences . My research addresses this issue through a case study : the visualization of a
women s political prison located in Punta de Rieles , Uruguay , during the Uruguayan dictatorship
(1973 -85 ) . In June of 2002 , I went to Uruguay and interviewed nine female former political
prisoners . I asked them to tell me stories about what happened to them during their time in
prison . My research aims at relating their experience of prison through a visualization of their
stories . The challenge addressed by my research is the creation of a virtual reconstruction that
can communicate the experience of prison through the integration of narrative , light modeling
and sound . The proposed visualization is a video installation based on these women s personal
experiences of the solitary confinement cell (calabozo ) . |
