As part of the exhibition on May 29, 1999 a symposium with speakers including the internationally renowned science fiction cult author, hyperspace mathematician, and expert for artificial life, Rudy Rucker (USA) and the system theoretician and simulation expert, John Casti took place at Vienna's Museumsquartier.


In Cooperation with Architektur Zentrum Wien and
Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung
SYNWORLD playwork:hyperspace illustrated the relationship between popular game worlds and scientific and socially relevant developments. Using the latest 3-D visualizations and 3-D simulations, the exhibition showed how digital expert systems and knowledge databases modify our traditional ideas of learning and education and influence daily working processes.

Interaction with high-tech systems allows us to abandon the two-dimensional screen interfaces to which we are accustomed. Instead, navigational systems venture into three-dimensional structures.
