Statement
Murmuring Fields is the further development of the original "Home of the Brain" VR
installation developed in 1992 as a metaphor for virtual space as a public forum.
With Murmuring Fields an artistic concept of a multi-user space is introduced, focusing on the notion of virtual space as a stage setting and on behaviours and interactions of people in an extended gallery
or performance space. The notion of user representation is replaced by the notion of user enactment and avatar is treated as an extended body of communication. Several artistic interaction scenarios
are presented accompanied by an instinctive and invisible interface environment. A VRML based demonstrator of the "Murmuring Fields", presents a mixed-reality shared environment installation for several users and a decentralised network architecture supporting large number of users across Internet.
