BETWEEN_ in VR

A virtual universe from body fragments

“Can we imagine the universe from which we ourselves come as something physical, but at the same time as something virtual?”
To portray the social circumstances of our contemporary society, characterized by a hybrid state of physicality and virtuality, choreographer Howool Baek combines body movement with technology.
In “BETWEEN_in VR”, an imaginary and deeply ‘immersive’ universe emerges in which our body parts such as the hands, feet or navel lead us into an unfamiliar world.
Using the overwhelming 360° VR spatial experience, we discover a new type of in-between space that merges the solid boundaries between the physical and the virtual, the body and the data, the analog and the digital, and the viewer and the performer.
