In 1996, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Resident” by Silver (Interactive Art) with a Honorary Mention.
The virtual being: created by virtual reality technology, enclosed in a white container reminiscent of an incubator or sarcophagus. It responds to human speech with movement, sounds, or by changing its shape. It may be observed through a narrow viewing device with a microphone mounted below it.
