Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Shaw_virtualMuseum Title A name given to the resource The Virtual Museum Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shaw, Jeffrey Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1991 Description An account of the resource An exact reproduction of the exhibition space is shown on a large monitor placed on a circular, motorized platform. Sitting in front of the screen in an armchair, visitors can navigate their way through four further virtual spaces by using the weight of their body to tip or swivel the chair. Each of these spaces contains different things: a gallery of pictures with running captions; an accumulation of sculptures consisting of letters of the alphabet; characters from the kanji alphabet on which sequences of film can be seen and floating letters that become a source of light. This 'Virtual Museum' functions only in part as a visual memory facility. Although every artistic medium is represented in it, paintings, sculptures, films and the computer-generated space itself are all transformed into signs that can be interpreted only with the help of specialist knowledge.<br /><a href="http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/works/the-virtuel-museum/">Description from Media Art Net, website for media artwork</a> Language A language of the resource English Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource May, Gideon [Software] Nelissen, Huib [Hardware] Bossinade, Bas [Hardware] Produced under the auspices of the Stadelschule, Institut fur Neue Medien, Frankfurt a.M., Germany Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource The copyright of images posted on the ADELTA Website belongs to third parties and is included on this website by permission from copyright holders.
