........Isabella Gresser (DE), Re viewers (2016) | 05:00 min

...... Being today, means "being-digitized". Will we only begin
...... to exist when we have been replaced by a simulacrum of ourselfs?
...... The experimental video interweaves real footage and virtual
...... reality elements. Documentary footage of people sitting at a
...... river in Seoul mingle with the images and edited comments of
...... two YouTube reviewers of a VR relaxation game that simulates
...... a flight over an animated virtual River.
...... In this work I'm interested in the relationship between imagination
...... and immersion and the proximity of the salvation formulas of a
...... VR industry to Far Eastern philosophy of emptiness.
