You are about to enter a new world of intermedia art. We Built This City on Skrot och Plåt is an interactive installation in the form of a video game. It digitally reconstructs the now demolished area of Lugnets Industriområde in Stockholm. The reconstruction process was done by using archival material from Per Skoglund and Petter Eklund who photographed the area between 1996-2002.

The game raises and examines questions about cities changing and who and what is allowed to exist within them. It also seeks to gain an understanding of the area beyond existing archival material by reconstructing its site-specific liminal spaces, which were lost to time. Its environmental soundtrack is also included, which was done by sonifying the 3D-models, making it a sort of sonic abstraction of a lost soundscape aswell as a graphic score. We Built This City on Skrot och Plåt was created by Niklas Dahlqvist in its entirety, including its soundtrack, and published by Moloton Systems Inc., a subsidiary of the record label Moloton.
