Other Worldly Performance

I have been inspired by the work I have experienced and researched that transforms the viewer into alternative realities. With my own intension of creating an other worldly experience I have been looking at the methods used by others to influence my performance score.

In 2016 Play Nicely created a free exhibition of otherworldly digital experiences to accompany the musical wonder.land at the National Theatre. The experience featured the music by Damon Albarn and involved the use of technology. Virtual reality was used to create a 360° landscape of wonder.land a “hypnotic garden scene”. https://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/news/interactive-design/play-nicely-alice-wonderland-damon-albarn-wonder-land/#4

“Stepping inside of Before You Were Born is an otherworldly experience. The installation’s biological shapes feel cozy, welcoming, and alive. To create the installation, which the gallery describes as “a floor-to-ceiling interactive psychedelic textile cave,” Shapiro screen-printed, sewed, and painted individual panels of fabric, and then connected them together. The panels cover the gallery’s walls and ceiling, spilling onto the floor. Custom-designed light fixtures, also made by Shapiro, hang from the ceiling.” https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/step-inside-otherworldly-psychedelic-cave-1000-hours-making/.

Another other worldly piece made using VR technology,
Morphogenesis –a virtual reality art installation. “an audiovisual journey through different planes of the digital and physical universe” https://design-milk.com/morphogenesis-otherworldly-virtual-reality-experience/

Olafur Eliasson exhibition at the Tate. Specifically Beauty “consists of a single spotlight illuminating a section of perforated tubing. When water is pumped through the tube, thousands of tiny water droplets cascade out, producing a curtain of mist, which then reflects the light to produce a rainbow.”
