The project is an Immersive Audio/ Virtual Reality Experience that will envision the landscape and residue left after the demise of human species. The sky color and weather as well as the ambient soundtrack will be created by the brainwaves of the user in real time using an EEG Arduino brain wave visualizer. Landscapes will be created from faux fur, foam and miniature models. Images of these landscapes will enter into the virtual world by mapping them onto the mesh created in a 3D game engine. The project will collapse two reenactments: popular news media of landscape in climate crisis, and the artist’s own memories of landscapes.
