Information
Lovestory is an interactive virtual reality experience. The main emphasis of the action is motion-captured intercourse between real people which builds up the experience.
The concept behind the script for the experience is derived from the interest in early film adaptations of SF cinema. They represented VR at the time and the transhumanist idea of feelings being virtually exchanged between two people via avatars. Our interest was focused on finding possibility of expressing it through motor skills and specific aesthetics. The project is a response to a current health situation – the limitation of interpersonal contacts caused by the pandemic and, as a result, causing social contacts to be shadowed in virtual space. It also tackles the idea of having intercourse using audiovisual performance.
