ALIEN FOOD BABY is a remixed synthesis of the virtual reality world wherein i combine my motion-captured movement, body sounds, and visual representations of my virtual and IRL bodies. this work is an exploration of recognition: how does mixed reality shape our relationships to the processes of both recognizing and being recognized? how do angle and perspective – afforded by the multidimensionality of mixed reality spaces – impact how and when we experience recognition? to what extent are mixed reality spaces “alien” and (un)familiar?
ALIEN FOOD BABY was developed in the lab/workshop <<Mixed Reality and Motion Capture technology>> at Dock 11 in Berlin, Germany, in November 2022, using Unity, Blender, and Rokoko. special special thanks to Warja Rybakova, Dock 11, and peers for making this wurld possible.
