Synopsis
FACE CAPTURE
At the first phase of the installation, your avatar is created. Your digital double is drawn in by a white figure, that gently attaches your face to your new body. At the same time, you are able to look at your avatar and wonder what is waiting for
it in the virtual world.
CROWD SIMULATION
Your double appears at the second phase of the experience, where all the previously captured doubles are acting out a scenario. The narrative simulation has two stages: Segregation State, which takes shape as the humiliation of one color group among the doubles; and Motley State, which depicts doubles as one mixed, wandering group. The transition to another state is enacted by a special double, called Gamechanger. GC has the ability to change the course of narrative by directly affecting the behavior of other Avatars.
