Project Details
- "Microworlds, Sirens, and Argonauts is a fantastic journey through multiscale microscopic worlds that grow and transform as users interact with them, revealing new patterns, structures, and sounds."
- "It introduces the concept of 'living narrative landscapes:' virtual spaces that allow users to successfully construct their own navigational maps and build their own representational models that can coexist with the narrative of the environments. Thus, the virtual space becomes a living narrative landscape as the Argonauts (users) navigate along time and space, taking part in the complex visual and aural behaviors of the environments."
