Virtual space offers a unique opportunity to fold meaning
and metaphor inside an explorable environment. As this is not what most
people are accustomed to, we decided to pull our content from an earlier
artist, poet, and visionary in order to help set the stage for a greater
understanding of the medium. This is not a game, it is poetry that surrounds,
a painting become journey, a realization of the philosophy of William
Blake.
If you are new to this space, please consult the navigation
and blake panels
(bottom).
These can be accessed at any time.
In creating this space, we quickly found ourselves beyond the boundaries
of poem itself. Blake's thoughts on innocence / experience, religion,
England, even the industrial revolution have taken root inside this virtual
space. The interpreting this space
panel offers facts and questions. The answers (if any exist) are up to
you.
The complete poem, with images of each environment along side, is available
on the examine objects page. Further resources and reference materials
on Blake and on web3d are on the credits - links page.
enjoy,
Steve, Ron & Thomas
