Project Details
- "Idea-ON>! is an electronic database of ideas and experiences, each one contained in a 'place' in one of four 'new realities,' which the user will discover through exploration. Many languages are combined, as the database borrows aspects of video games, landscape painting, interactive multimedia, and motions pictures to form a 'new language.'"
- "Each of Idea-ON>!'s four 'new realities' prototypes different aesthetic, structural, and communication approaches to virtual space:
- 1 - Technical Garden - an electronically generated world that grows and exists like a coral reef
- 2 - Cybaroque World - a palace of flesh and body enticements that use aesthetic seduction to invite interaction
- 3 - Communication Overload Data Sphere - television, movies, soaps, magazines, satellite communications, street signs, samples from mass media build up in layers of chaos to fill the screen
