"Imaging Place," is a place-based, virtual reality art project. It
takes the form of a user navigated, interactive computer program that
combines panoramic photography, digital video, and three-dimensional
technologies to investigate and document situations where the forces
of globalization are impacting the lives of individuals in local
communities. The goal of the project is to develop the technologies,
the methodology and the content for truly immersive and navigable
narrative, based in real places. For the past several months, Freeman
has been implementing the "Imaging Place" project in Second Life. In
"Imaging Place SL: The U.S./Mexico Border," Freeman explores the
issues, politics and personal memories of this contested space.
