The river journey is the form of this installation in which a participant is a traveler in a mythic voyage through the ages of a nation, Vietnam. Beginning at dawn, the participant navigates through three levels: a past lived close to nature, a time of horrific upheaval and violence, and a time of adapting and rebuilding.

Interaction is accomplished by clicking and dragging to move through the space, which triggers sounds and animations.   An additional participant may interact simultaneously from the other side of the screen, complicating navigation and encouraging cooperation. Verbal communication between co-participants is possible using the microphone/headset .

Path of the Dragon was created in VRML, a web-based 3D format, and exhibited at the University Film and Video Association Conference, Glass Curtain Gallery, Chicago, IL, in August, 2005.

* Vietnam’s creation myth states that they are descended from Dragon king Lac Long Qun, whose body formed the country's rivers.
