[Tamiko Thiel <tamiko@alum.mit.edu>]

Hi - 

I am a new media artist working with PC-based interactive 3D (VRML at
the moment.) My interest is in using the structure of the virtual space
and of the user's interations with that space to create dramatic tension
in the experience of a virtual environment. I create surreal spaces of
visualized metaphors to communicate political, social and cultural
content. I am based in Germany, but am currently teaching a class in
virtual reality art at UC/San Diego in California, USA. My online
portfolio is at http://mission.base.com/tamiko; see the link to
"manzanar" for my most recent project.
