Immersence

Immersence is the official video channel for work by Char Davies, notably the immersive environments "Osmose" (1995) and "Ephémère" (1998). 

Originally a painter, Davies transitioned to digital media in the late-80s as a founding director of Softimage. She later founded Immersence Inc. Integrating 3D visual elements and spatially-localized sound -- with interaction based on breath and balance -- her immersive virtual environment Osmose (1995) has been acclaimed as a landmark in new media art. This work was followed by Ephémère (1998), which represents landscape and the interior body as intertwined fluxing spatialities, and incorporates the participant's gaze as an additional means of interaction.
