Raccoon obtained two road-maps of former Yugoslavia for this project.
The one from the year 2000 and the one from the year 1967, from at about
when the Yu-rock
generation was born. Tragically, not much has changed between the two
maps. Some roads and bridges were built. More were destroyed. The year 2000 road-map of
countries that emerged from SFRY will be used as "the" map for Cyber-Yugo.
The old map is going to be used for nice old city-map drawings, like this
of Dubrovnik.

Using Microsoft Sidewinder platform the user will drive a Yugo over
that map (blimp view). By pressing the stop pedal, the content will open
related to the place where the Yugo icon, at that moment, is on the map.
In the beginning those clickable links were mostly going to be web
content. But the goal is to develop short video clips for each particular
city/region. Here is the first such video clip (56kbps, Windows
streaming media): Croatian Zagorje region.

Like the country that once manufactured it, our Yugo suffered some
misfortune at its temporary storage space. Given that the damage in no way
obstructs its purpose, battered as it is now, it serves its destiny even
better. Memories of a broken up country are best kept by a wreck. |
