Blast Theory,  The Computer Research Group, Nottingham University  Desert Rain

An a mazing interactive simulation of wartime activities in the middle east etc.  Giving each participant a diffrent persepective on the situation. 

"Desert Rain sends you on a mission into a virtual world . . . standing on a footplate and zipped into a cubicle, each of the six team members explores motels, deserts and underground bunkers, communicating with each other within the virtual world . . . a world projected onto a screen of falling water. You have 30 minutes to find the target, complete the mission, and get to the final room, where others may have a very different idea of what actually happened out there . . . On arrival, six visitors at a time enter a small antechamber. They are given a magnetic swipe card of a person they must find. They leave their coats and bags and put on hooded black jackets. The visitors are then lead in total darkness into the next space."--From DPA

Riverbed  If By Chance Motion capture, projection, animation; "It was to be a digital animation created to trigger the subconscious projection of narrative within its viewers... Picture something that works like Rorschach inkblots ...Imagine a sequence of simple animated figures (all abstractions: circle, square, triangle, etc.) that interact with one another in such a way as to suggest stories. Many of the animations are driven by sampled human motions, so that while abstract in graphic representation, they will have an oddly human presence." --From DPA site dead link
