Spatialography

by: VoxelKei

Spatialography is a VRChat world created by VoxelKei and released in October 2024. It has built a solid following since launch. It runs on PC, and holds up to 80 players per instance.

Spatialography is a coined term that links Spatial （denoting space） with -graphy （denoting modes of depiction）․ Technologies such as photogrammetry and Gaussian splatting have brought new means to record and reconstruct real-world places․ Just as photography and film evolved from mere documentation into expressive media‚ so too will media that handle space develop techniques that go beyond simple recording․ This world exhibits a series of prototype works created with questions in mind˸ how can these techniques be used as modes of expression? which methods are suited to the format of space? is it possible to make works that seem to speak through space? Spatialography is not a single work title; rather‚ it is a term we use to denote the ongoing practice and inquiry of transforming recorded space into expressive form․
