Artist Statement:

Existential Crisis is an interactive experiential Virtual Reality artwork, that evocatively explores the relationship with the struggle of humanity to create and perceive meaning in the world that they experience, portrayed through the lens of embodiment. Viewers will wear a VR headset and participate in a time-based piece that challenges our normal perceptions of location and spatial relationships. Interactive elements consist of head-tracking and hand-tracking. In the work, multiple environments are all present in a simultaneous landscape, but the user is only ever allowed to see into these worlds via transient moments of time.
