NO EXIT OASIS ( 2020-21)
a VR (Mozilla) Hub / Web-based Audiovisual Environment.
No Exit Oasis is an online, audiovisual VR environment, suggesting an open landscape within a black surrounding void. In this flooded sculpture garden, at architectural scale, online visitors are free to explore by flying around. Users can also pass through objects, discovering hidden quasi-indoor spaces.
Moving though the environment, sound changes and discrete sonic fields drift in and out of audible range. Visitors charting their individual paths through this park experience a personal soundtrack, ranging from ambient to rhythmic, both when in motion or not.
The work is partially a reflection on the period of personal confinement during the 2020/21 pandemic. As such, No Exit Oasis acts as both a space for escape as well as mirroring a shrunken world, in which movement and tangible human exchange turned virtual.
Best using a VR headsets but works also on desktop display.
“Fly-mode” is active upon entering - Sound is changing throughout the space, so keep exploring, the space is quite vast - Use shift key in combination with W, A, D, S navigation keys to accelerate your avatar’s speed - Q & R keys rotate your avatar’s view field left and right - Use tilde key to hide bottom menu bar - !Sound playback works on Firefox or Google Chrome browsers only. Safari and Opera browsers are not supported (sound won’t work)!
