Abstract
A Space of Time is an immersive hypermedia narrative that moves beyond traditional hypertext to create a unique non-linear storytelling experience. Drawing from a vast multimedia library of over 700 video sequences, 190 QuickTime VR panoramas, 105 audio files, and 18 Flash animations, it offers two distinct viewing modes. In "Limbo," viewers explore a photorealistic virtual environment of a century-old building; in "Stream of Consciousness," the system uses statistical formulas to dynamically rearrange scenes, generating a unique linear experience with each viewing. The work received international recognition including 1st Prize at the XXVI Moscow International Film Festival (Internet/Multimedia), Honorable Mention at the XV Videobrasil International Electronic Art Festival, and the Art Direction Award at the Philadelphia Documentary and Fiction Festival. It was exhibited at festivals across the Americas and Europe (2004-2005). The associated doctoral research at Syracuse University earned the Graduate School Doctoral Prize.
