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.
