Re: [-empyre-] short overview - mixed reality works

[Kathy Cleland <kathy.cleland@arts.usyd.edu.au>]

Hi Jo,

The new Turbulence projects sound great - Pierre Proske told me about 
his Caterwaul project (a wailing wall that links a real life wall with a 
virtual wall hosted by Ars Virtua Gallery in SL) and the other projects 
sound interesting as well. There is great potential for mixed reality 
works in SL beyond just re-creations or remediations of RL events (of 
which there are many) - Like you, I would love to hear about projects 
that link real physical spaces and the virtual space of SL in a more 
integrated way in real-time ... i am sure there must be people in this 
discussion who know of some ...? I think Adam Nash, who is about to join 
the discussion is working on a real-world controller for his SL artworks 
(in collaboration with another Australian artist - John McCormick from 
Company In Space) which will create a feedback loop between the real and 
virtual spaces ... are you out there Adam, perhaps you can comment on this.

on a realworld
controller for my SL artworks. It will be a symbiotic loop between
actual/virtual space, rather than a one-way control flow.
