Abstract:
How do we experience virtual environments? How do virtual environments make an impression on us? How is the immersion in three-dimensional computer graphics a phenomenon of the viewing experience? Looking through Blue Window Pane, is an active examination of an artist’s projection on multiple screens. It is also a partaking in the projection’s narrative construction. What happens when we seize a moment of this?
The CAVE is a virtual display theater that presents a visual spatial media of shapes, landscapes and sounds that establish a system for construction and symbolic transformation. The environment creates a series of experiential exercises that signal the next event. Participants are given the stage to exercise the guidance of their cognitive structures and ascertain the meaning and content of the virtual experience. To inhabit the virtual space is to transform the projection.
