When I Sead that Escher was the wrong place to "start" with VR,
what I meant to offer was a better alternative to undertanding VR.
The alternative being gardening as a creative practices rather that painting.
WHY? well this is what I think...
A Gardeners works I would say with TIME it self , Time and space.
There my be many artist how do, and same would say that
all artist do. But I would say that it is fundamental to the creative
act of Gardening.
( I hope the Time point is self exsplanitory ,
Planters grow in time,
the scsenes hapen in time, winter, fall, spring, summer,
year apon year etc)
Caperbilaty Brown planterd a Vast garden near me in which
an avenew of trees were planted.
Theres trees tuck 150 years to grow to there full size.
Now thats Creating in TIME
Understanding Time and controling random elementas are the keys
to some formers of gardening ( so i belive)
If this is right then Gardeners could become a good staring point
for comprehending the act of creating a VRWORLD ?
That is a flued VR world ( agan so i belive)
Is this right?, can any add to this ?
All so there are some things that Gardeners do that do intrigue me.
Like when they plane a garden. It is just as important to them
to think of the experiences of traversing the garden as it is the
of visholizing Vista vow points (g.e. points of static observation
with in the landscape from which the vower/navigator
sees a preset vow of the Garden). This traversing could be completly
random so the trick is to offer a kind of root for the vower/navigator
to follow with out it being to ovus. All so to make the Vista vow points
notisabull as to make the vower/navigator stop and look.
Would this double way of visualising an art work help as an
approach to creating a kind of narrative with in a VR world ?.
Rather than forces a VR world vower/navigator to follow a rigid pre-set path
( like a film where the vower if strapped to the camera. Forcing the vower to
see only that which is edited on to screen )
We give the VR world vower/navigator a landscape riddled with Vista points,
from which to vow events, objects, art works.
Would this work ?
Could it become a new caned of gallery ?
Dos any one understand me ?
"Gardeners do a hell of a lot more which can be applied to VR,
but I will stop babulling "
Thank you for your time
Yours hopefully Sean Varney
