Collective Body
Director:
Sarah Silverblatt-Buser
Country:
United States
Project type:
Virtual Reality Experience
Description:
Collective Body encourages us to reconnect to ourselves and each other through movement. The collective VR experience invites us to discover our movement identity- our signature ways of moving through the world- as a way to return to our embodied selves.
Where overuse of technology has been shown to lead to dissociation and depersonalization, Collective Body uses virtual reality to create a new, deeper awareness of our whole self.
