Taking as a reference one of the most versatile places in New York, and employing a color wristwatch camera that has a 1.1mm lens; I captured the streets, the stores and the people who live and visit SoHo. Then, all the pictures recorded were compiled as sequences and classified by streets. The final product is presented through interactive modules created in Flash, so people are able to go forward and backward while watching these distinctive moving images.
 
Digital Digits : SoHomatic 1.1 continues my exploration in the use of alternative devices to depict three dimensional environments by translating the physical world into a genuine digital representation.  It attempts to expand the conceptions we have in relation to cinema and understand the directions technology is taking today, like nanotechnology, for example. Unlike traditional digital cameras, which take high-resolution pictures of several megabytes; the images captured and stored by this peculiar wristwatch seem to be designed specially for the Web, which allows people to contemplate a large sequence of images or movies in a short period of time.
