Enter an alternate reality
A reality fragmented with layers upon layers, opening onto more layers
A glittering dark softness
This is an invitation to question your fundamental beliefs about reality through a scientific,
philosophical and creative approach to the question of perception.
Distorted Constellations constructs an immersive sensory environment inspired by the artist Nwando Ebizies mythic interpretation of the rare neurological disorder Visual Snow, which causes the person to see an augmented reality of Seurat-like pointillist dots, auras and glowing lines. and her own neuro-divergency. This Afrofuturist alternate reality is a playground for creative exploration, which draws on immersive technologies and embodied ritual practice. A landscape for transformative encounters. It calls into question how much we can trust our senses through an exploration of atypical perception.
Going on an individual journey twenty minute journey into the alternate reality, each person passes through initiatory steps - from Virtual Reality to immersive augmented reality before entering a period of decompression in order to share their journey. You are invited to become both a part of the artwork and the experiment.
A multi-sensory maze-like experience, the installation incorporates 360 degree immersive sound, projection and holograms creating a visceral new world where reality warps and bends and the cross-modal nature of perception is revealed.
Distorted Constellations acts as a playground for inquiry and features a series of happenings, talks, public experiments, performances, live music and closing with a salon supported by Drugstore Culture: https://drugstoreculture.com/read/
