App Profile: Brave New World XR

Erin Ko’s interactive art plays with Mediated Reality, Collective Consciousness and Layered Experiences. Voyeurs are invited to engage via their smartphones or more traditionally (with their eyes); their experience altered by the amount of technology they’ve invited into their lives.

The astronaut is a bittersweet figure; for most of history human beings have gone outwards, searching for answers. Now we go inwards instead.

We are the astronaut: our spacesuits devices and social media.

We are all connected but separate, searching the void, increasingly dependent on technology to lead us through the darkness. The nature of tech is to always change, and quickly; it is an impermanent medium. The physical piece is the constant, the interactive component an open question.
