This paper presents a work in progress, “The Body project”, concerning the development of an interactive virtual reality “artistic game” that takes place in the inner space of the human body. The human body is a particular “landscape”, intelligent not only during its natural state (alive), but also in its — after life — disintegration of components (dead). The key issue of this artwork-game is an artistic simulation of the procedure of life transformation after the death of the human body, aiming to reconcile the contemporary participant of interactive works with the sense that life always continues.
