Abstract:
Advances in technology have made it possible to create vast, rich, and architecturally intricate virtual worlds. The Mitologies project, described in this paper, is an attempt to utilise this technology in order to create artistically challenging work in virtual reality, but also to move further and explore the possibilities, issues, and form of the virtual reality medium as a means of expression. Mitologies draws inspiration from a large pool of sources by capturing their intertwining relationships in a cinematic form, hence making connections to the strong narrative tradition of other media, such as film.
