"Nuzzle Afar" is an installation which enables the viewer to enter virtual space from distant locations. When three countries share the network, people at long distance can meet each other.The aim of this virtual environment in "Nuzzle Afair" is not only to bulid up those networked functions into real system, but also to realize an experimental model of human communication by video captured image, trackball and microphone, instead of the keyboard. "Nuzzle Afar" extends the idea of sharing a virtual environment through the internet to three-dimensional real-time computer-synthesized space.
