The rest of the walls will be painted shades of dark gray and annotated with chalkboard-like definitions, diagrams and quotes about the Internet. To add to the informative nature of this exhibition, a sound track will be created with ambient music and clips of dialogue fading in and out, culled from ArtDirt and other Internet audio programs. The projection wall will dominate the room and create a focus on the events programming. Some of the events will be generated locally via the three work stations in the exhibition and viewed on the projection wall. Other events will be generated from other parts of the world and sent over the Internet to our projections system.
People arrange to meet on a certain web page at a specified time.
They hop on the tour vehicle, which controls where the passengers go on the web. This technology will be used to conduct virtual tours of significant art content on the Web, as well as to experiment with alternative uses of the technology by artists. You can talk to others in the metaworld via text chat or voice audio, and you can effect this virtual environment by building structures. We will be programming events on several metaworlds such as small plays, improvisational performances, stand-up comedy, interviews and panel discussions. The four metaworlds that we have tested and feel are ready for prime time are AlphWorld, Onlive, Black Sun and Virtual Places.
