SONG of  THE UNIVERSE

This is a mysterious journey. The audience will be guided by the artist's singing into the exhibition area. When wearing the VR headset, they will wake up in a cell in the virtual world as the last surviving human embryo, where they can create memories. Simultaneously, in the real world, they will experience the sensation of being surrounded by suspended embryos. They will encounter visual, tactile, and auditory interactions between two worlds. Eventually, they will release their stress, be healed through art therapy, and embark on a new cosmic adventure.

BACKGROUND

While immediate concerns may seem vexing, their significance diminishes when one extends the dimensions of time and space. Following an examination of VR experiences and traditional art therapy, I determined to leverage the advantages of both, and through an augmented array of sensory experiences, provide a solution from a more macro perspective for contemporary individuals seeking to break free from adversity.

CHALLENGES

• The primary technological challenge revolved around facilitating a multisensory interaction for users in VR, encompassing auditory guidance, visual drawing, and animation triggers. I successfully achieved this by modifying the open-source code of Open Brush in Unity.

• To enhance the tactile experience in VR, I experimented with various materials such as biological and woven materials to mirror the embryo in reality. Eventually, considering safety and the sensation of floating in space, I opted for a soft inflatable embryo installation.
