As a first space to visualise this much spoken about 'external reality' in the VR space, I (more and less) heavily edited HDRI images to create a 'hyperreal - texture - environment' , that feels both 'real' and imagined/surreal at the same time. | ||

The | The external reality is in a kind of duelling, twisting relationship with the internal reality. The internal space is translated as the idea of 'bodies / bodily-ness'. The photogrammetric-models of bodies form the 'main frame' of the entire VR experience. It is not the space/scene where the viewer starts but it is within these twisted, distorted body formations that the spherical, metallic orbs are positioned, which function as the portals/entry-ways to all other scenes and thus, it is within these bodies that the other spaces exist. | ||

I am very interested in contrasting different styles of digital visualisation to represent the same idea. I feel that this creates a more rich and complex space for the viewer to dive into. Therefore, to mix different visual styles I also want to experiment/embrace a more 'game-ified' look. An option is to create a natural landscape through Unity's 'Terrain tool' and downloadable Pre-fabs. | |||

Overall, I would summarise that I spent the semester further figuring out how I can bring varied, visual textures and elements into the VR space. I do this with the overall aim of finding my own visual language in immersive, digital space, by creating environments that build upon elements that feel more 'real' and tangible that the pre-fab computer-game-look. | |||
In the continuation of this project I will bring these visual scenes together through animating the timeline and incorporating the audio, which is the heart of the work. |
