Kurzbeschreibung
Empyrean is a web based, multi-user VRML environment, investigating the concept of the net being a living organic space - presenting a post colonial perspective by redressing the dominant net desire to recycle virtual space as a poor imitation of the real. This parallel universe of seven intertwined e-scapes, are contained and constructed in electronic space - a "soft scape". It is a place of emptiness - of hungry voids, transversed by avatistic in-tensions and strange attractions. In empyrean multiple users interact via their avatars within the art work, to become part of that empyrean, navigating thru poetic texts, intricate soundscapes, and subtly transparent images within the worlds of order, truth, beauty, strangeness, charm, chaos, and void.
