Event + Open Discourse
This is a device and activity that combines video space and real space. Through this activity, we want to break people’s original physical perception, because, in this era of the prevalence of video media, the boundaries of physical space in traditional face-to-face communication are magnified and overlapped by video media. The ability to surpass physical space distance allows us to communicate remotely. But it also changes the perception of space of the body. In a video chat, people usually perceive space through their vision instead of other perception.
Has the body's perception faded or changed? Here we use the headgear device to separate the visual and the physical perception to strengthen the audience's physical perception of the space. Virtualize one's body through the process of video chat. This gives the audience an opportunity to experience the coexistence of virtual bodies and real body perception.
