Abstract:
We have discovered a unique way to connect with communities, people and place through the creation of transmedia experiences of memory, objects and space. Our current work centres around reinterpreting memories through miniature domestic spaces, created using simple materials. We translate these miniatures into virtual reality via photogrammetry, forming resonant and uncanny memory spaces. These spaces are further brought to life through voice-over stories and the movement of the viewer’s body through these life-sized virtual replicas of the original miniatures. In this artists’ talk we will explore the development of this creative process through our current work-in-progress on flooding, memory and the climate crisis.
