Collaboration: Spatial Design x Animation - WDKA

This project was made in collaboration with Animator, Naomi Stam. Together we built this interactive installation. Inside of the cube, people had the opportunity to play a game in virtual reality in which they had to make mundane choices, affecting how the environment appeared to the viewer.

This installation explores the essence of religion as a personal guide, an inner essence that shapes our choices and perceptions of the world, whether we identify as religious or not. It invites participants to immerse themselves in this concept through a VR experience. Upon entering the brightly lit white cube, participants find a VR headset on a white podium.

Putting on the headset transitions them into a virtual version of the same space. The experience begins with a choice of three colors—red, green, or blue—which changes the cube’s color. Next, they select a shape—square, circle, or triangle—prompting the creation of an abstract landscape based on their choices. Each landscape offers a unique atmosphere, built on the same grid, for exploration at their own pace.When participants remove the headset, the physical room has transformed to reflect their chosen color, providing a seamless transition back to reality and reinforcing the connection between inner choices and external perception.
