‘Amber Dell’ is a VR experience exploring embodied performativity in virtual shared spaces. The experience invites participants to inhabit non-human forms within a shared, fantastical virtual environment.
Upon entering, visitors select from an array of non-human body types, each possessing distinct locomotion systems and affordances. The surreal landscape serves as a playground for exploration and interaction, challenging participants to navigate using unfamiliar physical paradigms.
This artwork functions as a tool for expanding neural plasticity, prompting users to adapt to novel modes of movement and perception. The social dimension is pivotal, as participants encounter others in their chosen forms, fostering unique non-verbal communication and collective discovery.
‘Amber Dell’ aims to provoke reflection on the nature of embodiment, consciousness, and the fluidity of self-perception in virtual realms. It is a step in the exploration of the potential of virtual reality as a medium for psychological and philosophical inquiry.
