Stepping into the virtual reality space with three-D glasses on, the user is confronted by a nearly life-sized wooden artists puppet interface. By "Playing" the puppet, you become enveloped in a series of seven worlds filled with enormous sounds and three-dimensional imagery. Part instrument, part stage, part performance, this work is a quest for multifarious relationships among body, space and language.

The work is interesting in how the surrounding environment lives through the senses and movements of the wooden puppet. The viewer becomes an onlooker to the dance and choreography of the puppet and the pupper master, who moves about and dances with the puppet, both of them forming the origo of this world.
