generative Environment / Virtual Reality Installation
Perceptual Arena is an open audivisual generative space, free from the physical meaning of things. The viewer projects his/her views onto a time-and space-relative world of polygons and sounds. This world is created and constantly changed by the personal views. The environment can be perceived to become complex - the perceivable evolves through perception of it.
