"CloudBrowsing", the web as an immersive cloud

The project »CloudBrowsing« makes information search on the Internet experienceable in a novel way. If we only experience the manifold information landscape of the net in sections and in a linear way via the computer monitor, then the treatment of net-based information becomes a spatial experience: search questions and results are not returned as text-based link lists, but form dynamic collages of images and sounds. Here, the relationship of content, as well as the temporal course of research is mirrored by the arrangement of the representing images on the single websites, as well as through the acoustic levels.
