Memosis - Virtual Reality (VR) installation

‘Memeosis’ was an interactive virtual reality (VR) installation completed in 2003, and was inspired by developments in nanotechnology and the promising future it may hold for medicine. The focus of the work was to inform and entertain and was intended to be a goal based exploratory experience. The participant was offered a represented reality in which they are given the impression that they are able to connect to an online server and assume control of a minute probe that has been inserted into a living host. Intertextual information present in the work was intended to contribute to the heightened sense of immersion - blurring the boundary of reality and fiction.

It was intended to move into a second stage of production where it would have used stereoscopics - which would have offered an extra sense of depth ( literally).

The second stage may still happen in future, depending on funding.
