Perceiving the Borders of Reality

Perceiving the Borders of Reality is an experiment on how we observe violent images within a VR environment. The sharp, physical boundaries of the virtual world that you can not escape from, emulate the political borders in the Middle East. It also reflects the rational borders that enter our conscience when viewing violent images in the media.The work questions whether we have become too desensitised to the point that we can no longer distinguish between what is real.

Process
Unity 3D, Htc Vive-Virtual Reality Glasses

Three different terrains were created in Unity3D using with executions images (that I found on the internet).
The created terrain is in rectangular form. It looks like drawn with a ruler, like the borders of some countries. These straight borders are often politically unstable. Can be navigated in the terrains, but can't go out when you reach the borderlines.
Names that are constantly seen around the terrain are places where executions are made.

''“In today’s society, where drones are used for warfare and romantic relationships begin online can we any longer distinguish between the so-called real and the virtual?”'' (Cécile B. Evans)

Everyone talks about VR nowadays, but aren’t sites like Facebook and Instagram already their own form of virtual reality being fed on a daily basis by disembodied snippets of our lives? Do we have to worry that soon the real world will be in second place?

In this course, we will be inspired and challenged by different artistic approaches that embrace “the virtual” as a concept, aesthetic, or technique. We will start by using simple methods to help amplify and channel our ideas and concepts through media and technology. Furthermore, we will use Unity 3D to create our very own virtual worlds, objects, or avatars which will include integrating virtual reality devices like the HTC VIVE. This course involves working with, but is not limited to, the Performance Platform at the Digital Bauhaus Lab.
