LILIAN JUECHTERN & NICOLE MARTIN: STAGING STRATEGIES
STAGING STRATEGIES. Virtual Reality as a new medium requires a genuine and specific formal language. "staging strategies" is a project in virtual space. The research on basic parameters for the design of a Virtual Reality has thus been constituting for our work. The basic element of a virtual world is dynamic information. Events, data. Everything is floating and moving. How do you visualize this in three dimensional space? Which sensual experiences are elementary to a Virtual Reality?
Dataworlds lack gravity: there is no Up and Down, no ground, no horizon. One move and everything is changing. What has been above is now to my right. How can I find my way in a Virtual Reality? To investigate these questions, "staging strategies" focusses on the design of an abstract Virtual Reality written in VRML 2.0. "staging strategies" has won a first prize in the competition for the 1.VRML Award curated by E. Feiler (time and motion, Berlin, Germany), Prof. J. Sauter (art+com, Berlin, Germany) and S. Schuhmann (arte).
