Encounter(s)Encounter(s) in an interactive immersive audio/visual environment focusing on the concept of introspection, tranquility and transformation. When a participant sits in the center of the installation, a figure approaches and asks thought-provoking questions. The immersive visual and sonic environment coupled with the virtual presence of the figure invites the participant to engage in meditation, contemplation, self-actualization, confrontation, or enlightenment.
Participants enter an immersive, abstract sonic and visual world, and are enticed to sit in a centrally located seat. When the participant sits, he/she triggers the emergence of a distant, abstracted human image. This animated, ghost-like, ethereal figure slowly moves toward the participant. The figure represents the self, a friend or loved one, a God, shaman, spiritual figure, or other virtual presence. When the figure arrives in front of the participant, it asks an introspective question. After a moment of contemplation, the figure retreats into the distance and transforms into a tree-like form that metaphorically represents self-actualization and growth. As more trees develop, they become a forest of influences that help define the essence of our existence.
