“Heavenly Reality 2014”
In this wearable installation the blurry line between the virtual, spiritual and the physical is being explored. By putting on the mask the viewer becomes a kind of shaman, being able to tap into a world not perceivable by others. In this way I tried to put the technology into a ritualistic context. Just like the rites of passage we see in tribal African cultures, where the participants are wearing masks, so is the virtual space a liminal space and is the participant initiated into a new virtual reality.
