The first virtual space encountered is a three-dimensional Cartesian<br \/>\nGrid which functions as an orientation space. With the immersant&#8217;s<br \/>\nfirst breaths, the grid gives way to a clearing in a forest. There are<br \/>\na dozen world-spaces in Osmose, most based on metaphorical aspects of nature. These include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.immersence.com\/osmose\/os_rosetree.html\">Clearing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.immersence.com\/osmose\/os_forest_grid.html\">Forest<\/a>, Tree, Leaf, Cloud, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.immersence.com\/osmose\/os_treepond.html\">Pond<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.immersence.com\/osmose\/os_subterr_earth.html\">Subterranean Earth<\/a>,and Abyss. There is also a substratum, Code, which contains much of the<br \/>\nactual software used to create the work, and a superstratum, Text, a space consisting of quotes from the artist and excerpts of relevant texts on technology, the body and nature. Code and Text function as conceptual parentheses around the worlds within.&#8221; [2]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bild-31.jpg\" alt=\"osmose\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/>[3]<\/p>\n<p>[1]: http:\/\/www.mediaartnet.org\/assets\/img\/data\/3425\/bild.jpg<\/p>\n<p>[2]: http:\/\/www.immersence.com\/osmose\/index.php<\/p>\n<p>[3]: http:\/\/www.mediaartnet.org\/assets\/img\/data\/1860\/bild.jpg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":7635,"template":"","artist":[186],"streams":[17],"keywords":[2400,2401,2197],"decade":[5543],"media":[5547],"class_list":["post-158","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artist-char-davies","streams-simulations-and-simulacra","keywords-head-mounted-display","keywords-motiontracking-vest","keywords-software","decade-1990s","media-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7649,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/158\/revisions\/7649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=158"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=158"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=158"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=158"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
