Re: Stasis

Dear Steven & public-xformsusers,

To the post above it may be good to include an online source of Marcos
Novak's "Liquid Architecture":


"Liquid Architectures in Cyberspace" by Marcos Novak (1991) beginned with
the body becoming liquid in relation with cyberspace...

https://www.evl.uic.edu/datsoupi/coding/readings/1991_Novak_Liquid.pdf

The text recognized "cyberspace" as "a completely visualised spatialization
of all information in global information processing system..."

The text was part of a course introducing 3D modelling, Virtual Reality and
Unity 3D --a course investigating how contemporary technologies inspired
forms of creative practices and focusing on creative programming a high
resolution virtual reality environment...


Note: I ever posted it to public-informationarchitecture@w3.org at May 12th
2019.


Regard,
Guntur Wiseno Putra
