Information
CURIOSKI creates VR works based on various aspects of the “mind”. From the previous work "A Glimpse of the Mind Landscapes", CURIOSKI discussed consciousness with bodies relation through the concept of "VR being the external brain plugins", and decided to extend this idea to the upcoming VR work, "The Insider". However, in this work, VR will be represented as another prop, the "viewfinder to the outside world".
"The Insider", the story is inspired by people suffering from mental illnesses, particularly Dissociative Identity Disorder. There will be two worlds: the dark mental world and the bright outside world. The audience will be the main identity of the body but surrounded by five different alternate identities. Only by standing in the spotlight and looking through the viewfinder, can get control of the body and have a glimpse of the world outside.
It is a normal day, you are going to the supermarket to buy groceries. Suddenly, a light flashes by, and you found yourself under the spotlight, surrounded by five silhouettes standing in the dark… This is not the first time to be in this dark place, these five people always want to take control of your body, how to get rid of them
