A Topological Slide

(updated 31 October, 1995)

From August 13, 1992 to November 8, 1993, Michael Scroggins and Stewart Dickson participated in the Art and Virtual Environments Program at the Media Arts Department, Banff Centre for the Arts, Alberta, Canada.

The result of this collaboration is a work in immersive Virtual Reality, in which the participant is able to "surf" mathematical topology.

The Topological Slide by Michael Scroggins and Stewart Dickson is documented in Diana Augaitis, Douglas MacLeod and Mary Anne Moser, eds.; Immersed in Technology: Art and Virtual Environments MIT Press 1995.
