Information
"Metamorphotica" is a multi-linear, interactive XR art installation that uses a head-mounted display, haptic gloves and a brainwave headset to transport its performers into a dreamlike limbo.
The starting point is Ovid's Metamorphoses, which tell of transformation, longing and the dissolution of body and identity. Floating in a cocoon, a transcranial fluid changes the genetic code and transforms the participants into chimeras, hybrids of alien creatures and their former selves.
With new sensory abilities such as echolocation, electric sense, telekinesis, tentacle eyes or vibration perception, they must find their way through an unknown environment in order to survive. They dive, dig, fly or crawl as they search for a new self. Hidden in this world are ambers that store the stories of previous chimeras, creating a link between generations of transformation.
"Metamorphotica" becomes a journey through outer and inner transformation that is both fascinating and vulnerable.
