Desert Rain is a game, an installation and a performance that you must explore to find your target. Travelling through real and virtual spaces, visitors need to work together to search motels and bunkers, deserts and storms. Having received a briefing in an antechamber each of the six team members is zipped in to their own cubicle where they enter the virtual world. Standing on a foot pad you navigate across deserts, into an underground complex using travelators and embedded video views to help you locate your target. The virtual world - implemented using Nottingham University's MASSIVE 2 software - is projected onto a screen of falling water spray. Have completed your virtual mission two further rooms await you...Playing with notions of media communication and miscommunication, Desert Rain demands your co-operation and in return gives you a unique 30 minutes. Developed over a two year period as a collaboration between Blast Theory and Nottingham University's Computer Research Group the project is part of the eRENA programme of research into electronic arenas.
