CURRENT AFFAIRS

interactive VR experience

Current Affairs is an interactive VR experience that takes the viewer into the depths of a plastic polluted ocean, where an octopus leads to the mysterious and unknown Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Real time data sets that come live and directly from the deep sea (Argo Floats) make the currents tangible and reveal the geo-mythology of the island. They determine the underwater world and the strength of deep sea currents which, with help of the octopus, we have to overcome to reach our goal.

Plastic exists everywhere and anywhere. But what is the plastic island, and does it really exist? Or is it just an anecdote to confirm our worst fears about over-consumption? A cloud drifting and floating through media spaces and digital forums? A society of objects which is created on a planetary scale, and accumulates cultural traces and artifacts?
