Abstract:
ISEA 2018
This paper presents Awkward Consequence, a massive virtual reality performance that explores and expands the limits of audiovisual performances, offering alternative paths of exploration of the aesthetics of virtual reality. Using mobile phones and cardboard–like viewers, together with a centrally–controlled architecture, Awkward Consequence immerses its audience in a virtual journey that is simultaneously individual and shared. By joining the rich tradition of musical performance with virtual reality, the piece investigates the future role of virtual reality, while simultaneously celebrating the immense artistic richness of this new medium.
