Built within a game engine, Feel My Metaverse is a CGI film set in a hyper-fictional future, when the climate crisis has rendered the earth uninhabitable. Humans escape into a metaverse of virtual worlds, shown through the daily lives of three characters. The narrative critiques the disconnection between the monopolizing desires of corporate and futurist visions in the context of inequality and climate crisis. Considering the increasing fragility of shared belief systems, it contemplates how individuals can trust and live in realities that they intuitively disagree with. It also depicts technology as an emancipatory tool to explore sensory understanding, fluidity of expression, and ability.

The installation will be on view from 29 January to 2 February, 2020.
