Abstract:
This chapter utilizes virtual reality technology to investi-gate its influence on the temporal perception of experienc-es. This analysis aims to explore the correlation between the artwork and its experiences and the impact of various temporal states shown within the artwork. The objective is to shed light on the ambiguous temporal awareness and disconnect between individual and collective time that the artwork evokes.
This study integrates virtual reality technology with physi-cal space and installations to construct an immersive set-ting that effectively restricts individuals’ ability to disen-gage from the experience. The environment in question incorporates a range of sensory stimuli, encompassing visual, tactile, and aural components. By utilizing the dis-tinctive features of VR headsets, this study effectively immerses participants in a simulated environment, leading to sensory manipulation that triggers distortions in the sense of time. The objective is to encourage deep reflection on an individual’s connection with the concept of external time.
This study integrates virtual reality technology with physi-cal space and installations to construct an immersive set-ting that effectively restricts individuals’ ability to disen-gage from the experience. For this purpose, we recruited twenty participants aged between 19 and 55 with varying degrees of experience with virtual reality, aiming to cover a wide range of time perception experiences.
