Mobile App as Interface for Interactive Installations
With this 360° New Media Art Mobile VR App Time to Nest Time to Migrate you fly through your own inner world. What happens in there? Bacteria, cells, fungi, parasites, phages, protists, prions, viruses communicate. Do they determine what we are? Not scientific, but rather fake scientific, philosophical and emergency poetically. (We know that we know nothing, we know). A little dance of life and death. The project evokes a sense of wonder, enchantment, entanglement and admiration for the unknown in our body and its microscopic world. The images, texts and spoken words come from microbiological research, mainly from universities, and transform it into an interactive poetic dance.

The sonic sound experiences are specially composed for the app and responds to all these movements and navigation modes.
