This is the 5 th symposium devoted to research and development in the Web-based 3D graphics community. There was a special emphasis on VRML Virtual Reality Modeling Language, a featured tool for Web3D, and Java. The conference was well and enthusiastically attended, and went a long way to sanctify this growing field as part of legitimate IT mainstream.
Telematic art is interactive.
VRML is the favorite tool of telematic artists. The user can fly through it, surround it, go through doors to multiple layers of it, etc. This was a good topic for an educator to begin with since it prompted many pedagogical speculations about the value of interactivity. Telematic art is informal and subjective. As a viewer, you are invited to assert your own persona into it.
