Abstract:

  • Hiding Spaces is an immersive virtual reality work developed for the Cave Environment. By incorporating two dimensional shifting imagery on the walls of Cave with abstract, hand-generated 3D form linked to and flowing out of the walls of the Cave, the authors explore a new approach to the physical space of the Cave virtual reality display. The aesthetic of the work draws on abstract expressionist notions of spatial ambiguity, while making use of the CavePainting software, developed at Brown University, for creating gestural, hand-sculpted form directly within a virtual space.
