Independence is I think good, but it has so many connotations with the
artist freeing them selves from the constraints of external forces
such as funding etc.. I think what Im looking at is a kind of omnipresent
posiverity. Where by the artist sets up some fundamental rules for the
VRworld/artwork and then movers throw it maintaining them sutaly.
Wile still allowing the VRworld/artwork to go its own way. I should
emphasises here
that when I say VRworld/artwork I mean not just what the world on its own
is doing but all so what the world Viewers/interacters are exsperounceing
of the world and what they are doing to the world.

Yes that's it. I think its the idea of architecture and gardening rather
than painter/sculptor that I was trying to make with my fast postings.
Do others agree ? my be choreography could all so be helpful as a means of
defining a way to produce VRart works which brake a way from the restraints
of
other media. I my sound foolish with all this but I think if a VRartist
wont to produces works of art which fully explore VR, then you have to redefine
what it is that you are doing as an artistic parties. I do not wont to be seen
as a painter who uses VR but as a VRartist who takes puts elements of painting
in to his work.Or gardening, Architecture, sculptor, mathematics, and so on.

The worlds generated in Literature have all ways been a grate inflowounst
on other media such as film, tv, radio.

But that at this time it the nature of the beast. My be like film
VRart will be made by a group of specialists each in there own field,
such as sound, set-design, costumes, lighting, cimimertografy, script
writhing, acting and so on all under the direction of the Director/producer
within editor thrown in for good mesher.

I think speed of play can decontrolled so it simply becomes another element of
VR plot production.

I do not think that is right sorry
it is this very removal of the hidden which is the great gift of VR
and will mean a radical rethink in creating ART. But it is not true
that you can not hide things and events in a VR world, you can.
The question is then HOW? and When?
>I wonder if you all feel concerned about theses problems...
>Sorry for my weak English,
Your English is grate its mine that sucks
>hello from the country of cheeses and nuclear testing (sadly not yet virtual!)
and hi Vincent from the country of rain and bad food.
