Continued story lines.

I have now begun to piece together the narrative that will run throughout the whole virtual-virtual gallery(the V-V-Gallery is the idea of An online Gallery presenting my work being visualized as a series of rooms, as if a Virtual virtual gallery.)
I now want the user to gradually unravel a story, a story of a haunted house. Not necessarily by ghosts, perhaps by living people, or things. I am still unsure of the total outcome of this, but I know that I want it to be an interactive, multi-layered story. Like a book, a novel or a short story, but not told only with text, but through movements as well. Somewhere in between animation, theatre and writing.
i am iming to create a room facing the outdoors; and in this room things can come in, or fall out with teh wind. And if somthing needs to happen in a room it can, and will, and will be placed along with text.
More soon..

Surrealism and Research

The rooms are vecoming increasingly surreal.I have added a falling room,(only online in part, at the moment) accessable from a small door in room one, and from this room, the user 'falls'; eventually hitting the bottom, but along the way can click on a number of elements, such as a Window(this one works right now), taking the user to a strange sky-room, eventully falling back into the hall.
From this new sense of surrealsim, two things have arisen.
1. It is now becoming easier for me to imagine a narrative, a surreal world, perhaps somthing like a haunted house in which my rooms are located. i already have planned more surreal rooms, like a room open to the elements; a missing wall exposed to the outside.
2. the Exclusion of the figure walking around has both aided the Surrealist illision, almost giving the user oppurtunity to float around the rooms and makes the rooms easier for me to create, escpecially when creating the surrealer rooms.


RESEARCH
I have now three books, Poetics of Space, Perspective and a Perspective DEsiogn Handbook. i have not yet begun to read Poetics, but have studied with this book before. The Vredeman De Vries book is especially usefull at this design stage, helping me to assemble the increasingly surreal world od ROOMS. I am hoping that with this research, as well as an ongoing attempt to atain more will provide me with the basis in which to place my work in a variety of contexts; not just the context of the internet as a whole.
