Refuse

2019
Two-channel realtime 3D simulation authored in a custom version of the Unreal Engine

Refuse.exe is a two-channel realtime 3D simulation, authored in a custom version of the Unreal Engine: a software development environment used to make video games.

e artwork is two projections on two oors - the upper screen in the ground oor gallery, the lower screen in the basement gallery. Objects fall through the upper screen, freezing momentarily, before continuing to fall, landing in a pile on the lower screen.

Refuse.exe is not a video, it’s an app, running on a high end custom PC.

Each run-through of Refuse.exe is unique. e objects drop in the same sequence and at the same time per play through – but their movement while dropping, their landing and their accumulation di ers every time, at the whim of the physics simulated.

More information about Refuse.exe can be found in the accompanying text ree Pieces of Bread, which can be read at the following link https://cabinet.uk.com/ea-threepiecesofbread
