SIME Corp's Initial Foray into Spatial Art Exploration

Long before virtual tours became commonplace, this was our very first experiment in digital spatial browsing?built in 1995 using HTML 1.0. I asked my parents, while still in Massachusetts, to stand in each gallery location and take four photos (forward, back, left, and right), which they mailed to me to digitize. This effort formed the foundation of our earliest studio mapping. The featured series, Doris Weiner?s Stellars, was composed of large, stone-like abstract sculptures and wall-hung forms, capturing her exploration of scale and physical presence. It?s impressive what could be done with just a few simple tags in those early web days.

In 1995, the Laura Knott Gallery showcased Doris Weiner's intriguing Stellars exhibit. During this period, Doris embarked on an exploration of scale as a potent element in her artistic language.

Embracing the challenge, we at SIME Corp sought to digitally simulate the immersive experience of physically navigating through her gallery. This experiment led to the birth of a spatial exhibit experience, pioneering a new way of interacting with digital art. It's remarkable that this early technology (HTML1) remains functional and relevant.

Doris's vision expanded in tandem with the space she worked in, reminiscent of the adage: "A fish only grows as large as its tank." This exhibit captures her venture into grand scales, offering viewers a unique, expansive perspective on her artistry.
