BEYOND CONSCIOUSNESS
“BEYOND CONSCIOUSNESS” is an experimental virtual environment that presents an innovative vision of a universe where architectural structures are in a state of perpetual transformation. Within this unique setting, objects move freely across three dimensions (x, y, z), resembling digital simulations. This dynamic movement generates intricate interactions and collisions, resulting in the continuous formation and decomposition of surrounding forms. The project is characterized by a monochromatic color scheme, which imbues the space with a stark, enigmatic quality, encouraging profound engagement from the audience. Ambiguous shapes and large-scale, dynamic elements traverse the environment, complemented by meticulously crafted sound design that enhances the immersive experience. The project invites participants into a world that prompts personal interpretation and contemplation of the boundaries of reality and perception.
