A New Protocol VR (v 1.2)
2018
The New Peace series, launched by Timur Si-Qin in 2016, proposes a cosmology beyond Western dualities of the organic versus the synthetic, the spiritual versus the material, and the natural versus the cultural. This latest VR-based installment (2018) introduces the New Peace campaign through a journey into a procedurally generated desert landscape, signifying the possibility of an all-inclusive wilderness where the simulated is just another branch on the tree of reality. The work posits a new articulation of secular spirituality that is able to respond to climate change and other challenges of the twenty-first century through a re-enchantment of materiality.
