Syndicate: new virtual reality project


DEMEDUSATOR
-----> a shared virtual reality project developed by its visitors - launched now

BE THE FIRST SETTLER AND RULE THE CENTER IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD! 
GO DEEP INTO THE COLLECTIVE REALITY BEFORE OTHERS GET THERE!

HTTP://DEMEDUSATOR.C3.HU

Aim?      -----> YOU as creative participant SHARE your CREATURES, let it be a 
COMPLETE VIRTUAL WORLD or SOUND, MOVIE, PICTURE by placing them in a 3D
world, that can be explored by ANYONE. 

Where? -------> in an interactive MULTI-USER WORD (but not in the sense that 
users can see each other, rather they can see and reflect to the creatures of 
others')

How? -------> in form of a VIRTUAL SCULPTURE, created by the CRYPTOGRAM SYSTEM

Me? --------> Yes, YOU as a MULTI-MEDIA SCULPTOR

Easy? -------> explore the "original" content by TOUCH: the original content is 
immediately DECODED and shown instead of the encrypted sculpture.

Philosophy? ------> As the world being filled up with new coming data a virtual 
city-like world will be built, a kind of encrypted "Metaverse", which has to be 
discovered and enriched by its citizens to turn the silent and static world of 
cryptograms to a living scene.

What Utopia? -------> The utopia of the global community was born much earlier 
than computer-networks - the idea of virtual worlds is not necessary related to 
cybernetic machinery. Despite of this in our information-age the phrase
"global" 
is directly associated to the internet-village, just like "virtual" to 3D
worlds.

What Vision? -------> The vision described in the most famous science
fictions of the last decades - e.g. William Gibson's Neuromancer or in Neal
Stephenson's 
Snow Crash, just to mention the two most frequently quoted ones - is
outlining a 
world in which the digital networks are not only parts of the commerce culture, 
but fill a part in the most primitive tasks of the everyday life. By
envisioning such a - from some points of view - ideal reality the forecoming
problem is the form of the data-container, the context-generating frame in
which the broad range of various content will be displayed. By considering
the history of the World Wide Web - which became so popular because of its
ability to handle and serve multimedia - as an analogous example it's quite
obvious that where the heteriarchycal system is not able to draw borders the
growing community cannot 
protect the construction of the missing guidelines too long. The rules
created by the heterarchical society will govern not only the culture, but
the entire life.
