TEMPORAL WORLD: A HAPTISONIC VIRTUAL REALITY MEMORY WORLD (2023)

“Temporal World” is a VR experience in which artist Chloé Lee reflects on making meaning in places with varying levels of connection to her; from the personal, to the familial to the foreign. While wearing a custom haptic jacket, we are guided to slow down while exploring Berlin and beyond in our increasingly accelerated time. As an Asian-American artist, she explores themes of migration through discovery, documentation and, in time, rooting herself in a new place.

This VR world emphasizes memory’s ephemerality and learning to sense in new ways. These new ways of sensing, in turn, help create a more nuanced understanding of our interactions and, often invisible, dynamics within our environments.
