Die Geographie der Demiurgen

“Wie ein Origamitrick in flüssigem Neon entfaltete sich seine distanzlose Heimat, sein Land, ein transparentes Schachbrett in 3-D, das sich in die Unendlichkeit dehnte (…) Und irgendwo er, lachend, in einem weiss getünchten Loft, die fernen Finger zärtlich auf dem Deck, das Gesicht von Tränen der Erleichterung überströmt.”

William Gibson, Neuromancer, 1984

“Virtual Reality is a technology that concinces the participant that he or she is actually in another place by substituting the primary sensory input with data received by a computer (…) when the virtual world becomes a work space and the user identifies with the virtual body and feels a sense of belonging to a virtual community.”

Michael R. Heim, Scientist

“I am a bricklayer, not an artist. I have always struggled with the automatic definition of a builder in Virtual Worlds as an artist. I perceive my approach as more technical, conceptual, scientific, strategic and yes, maybe political – but not artistic. My builds are not a reproduction of my fantasy but rather of some existing reality. With them I want to show the long lost, the unreachable, the unseen to the visitors of my regions.”

Tosha Tyran, Builder on Craft World

“Welcome Friend! This is a Writers' Colony. We sit around and talk about writing :–) But please be patient,  this world may take some time to open. And just like any good book it also takes some time to explore. Grab a boat, or wander on foot. Come back again :–)”

Arton Tripsa, Builder on Kitely
