The Pepitasausage Racetrack is an online art piece by Danish artist, Jette Gejl Christensen. The piece is part of a project called ‘pop-up art’ in which artist from Århus, Denmark are invited to create digital art pieces for virtual pop-up windows in a web browser. This piece presents an endless pepita-textured tunnel in which the camera travels like a race car. Once in a while the ‘car’ crashes, causing the camera to move outside the pepita-sausage as if it was floating in space. The car will always find its way back inside the tunnel where it’ll continue its endless loop.

Jette Gejl Christensen is currently artist-in-residence at CAVI, the Center for Advanced Visualization and Interaction at the University of Aarhus. She has previously done digital art pieces, including 3D pieces that are meant to be played in a 3D cinema. Check out the Pepitasausage Racetrack which will be online until January 3rd, 2008.
