Home

Home (figure 2) is an environment that explores ideas about a dwelling and its relation to the psyche. Visitors enter a house that has been abandoned by its owners; while inside this space, the visitors (that is, their avatars) become ghosts. The rooms and hallways include a soundscape composed of spoken narrative fragments and a musical ambient score.

Home began as an on-line VRML environment, and was remade for the CAVE environment. It contains links to the work of numerous artists who reflect on the meaning of domestic space and identity, including a screenwriter, photographer, set designer, film and video makers, and computer artists.
