Virtual Reality / Chilean Mining Mural

Virtual reality illustrating wall sections of permanent mural installation titled: History of Chilean Mining Mural at the University of Concepcion, Chile. Section A (12.30MT x 3.15MT) concerns the history of Chilean mining from Pre Colombian period (c.2200 BC) to contemporary times. Section B (8.20MT x 4.20MT) illustrates mining process where the model of reference was the largest underground mine in the world El Teniente, copper mine which began its operations in 1904 with Braden Copper Company. This project which had its genesis in 1998 under a common agreement between Chilean Bureau of Mines and the University of Concepción, was to establish a policy of projecting the image of Chile through out the world as a mining culture. Its first phase with the materialization of the Chilean Mining Mural was sponsored by CODELCO-CHILE commemorating the centenary of Chilean large scale copper mining 1905-2005.
