Oceanus

The installation allows us to experience an interactive-generative narration using the original programme. On the level of form, structure and content, the idea of the work stems from phenomena of navigation and sea voyage, and is based on marine literature and mythology, at the same time referring to the cinematographic changes in contemporary art that seek new forms of narration built using audio-visual components and time relations. The script is based on the medieval text “Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis”. The marine symbolism is also utilised in the interface which lets the users navigate the world of “Oceanus”. The main visual metaphor of the installation is a navigational chart, whose fragments and afterimages can be found in the graphic interface of the work. It takes the form of a touchscreen which is also the navigation desktop.
