Description
a Game Mod as a Virtual Museum --- in cooperation with Mathias Fuchs --- In constructing a virtual museum we changed, the logical structure and the aesthetics of a museum from scratch. We wanted to build a museum maze, a crossword puzzle of objects and stories, an audio-visual "Wunderkammer" and a hypermuseum based upon a computer game.
