In Room for Thought, Swiss video artists Alexander Hahn and Yves Netzhammer tackle Second Life's computer-generated spaces from a sympathetic angle. In Luminous Point, Hahn leads his viewers through a series of digitally rendered vignettes depicting rooms in his own desolate Manhattan flat. The slow-panning "camera" reveals spaces lacking occupants but rich with textures and grime, packed to the ceiling with longing and nostalgia. Netzhammer's multidimensional installation, meanwhile, offers full immersion. A looming, Rube Goldbergian structure of tables and tubes projects a three-channel video — an animation following a series of faceless beings through a dream-like narrative — on walls painted with provocative silhouettes.
