EVL: Alive on the Grid
The
Ars Electronica Festival, sponsored by the Ars Electronica Center
(AEC), is an international, large-scale art festival held annually
in Linz, Austria. In 2001, the AEC festival commissioned the University of
Illinois at Chicago's Electronic Visualization Laboratory to produce an
original virtual reality art application for the CAVE®. The resulting work
EVL: Alive on the Grid is a collection of shared and tele-immersive virtual
reality environments linked by the Grid (a collection of networks,
computers and virtual reality displays spanning the globe). During the
five-day event, participants from three American and five European sites
interacted in the virtual worlds.
