Abstract
We are artists working on the creation of interactive computer systems that use the audiences' participation as essential input for the creation of image structures within the systems. In 1998 and 1999 we created two interactive web sites for the Internet called VERBARIUM and LIFE SPACIES.These two web sites allow users on the Internet to write text messages that are instantly translated into visual three-dimensional forms. Our custom designed text-to-form editor takes the letters, syntax and sequencing of a text message as genetic code and updates the design functions for the creation of three-dimensional forms according to the text message parameters. As the text messages of the different users on the Internet are usually unique and diverse, unique and personal three-dimensional visual forms and shapes can be created by the users.
