Encased in a specially-built camera obscura, this piece questions our very desire to escape into virtual, enclosed worlds that only seem divorced from our physical, ecological one.
This VR essay guides us from Ivan Sutherland’s historical creation of the first head-mounted VR display through different iterations of simulation theory in a powerful, embodied critique of virtual realities as a possible solution to current emergency conditions. Its destabilisation of already-entrenched conventions of headset VR is uncanny and profound.
