<div>Unlike the usual mission-based VR interactive structure,<i> La
Camera Insabbiata</i> creates exclusive worlds based on personal
experiences and memories. For the exhibition, Laurie Anderson
recreated an site-specific painting inside the installation. Anderson
states "I make art so I can feel free and understand who I am."
Co-creator Huang mentions in his statement that "VR offers
possibilities for full liberation. 'Imagination is the only
limitation'".<i> La Camera Insabbiata</i> will bring intimate,
exclusive and tranquil experiences in abstract and unconventional
ways.<br>
</div>
<div><i>La Camera Insabbiata</i> offers a virtual thinking space that
surpasses thoughts, deconstructs words and overturns dreams for the
audience. The exhibition space stands at TFAM's outdoor plaza like a
dark container. It includes a VR space for four participants. For the
virtual journey, participants can travel through eight rooms,
including The Cloud Room, The Anagram Room, The Dog Room, The Water
Room, The Sound Room, The Dance Room, The Writing Room, and The Tree
Room. Surrounded by murmurs by Laurie Anderson in the background,
viewers can wander through story clusters, leap across otherworldly
and dreamy rooms, as well as fall through layers of signs and numbers.
VR goggles are hanged in the space, with control handles on handrail,
enabling the participants an experience that gives in all of their
senses to technology facilitation. For fifteen minutes, viewers can
navigate with their handles in panoramic corridors, halls, and the
eight rooms, made of blackboards, chalks, handwritten signals and
numbers. Landscapes in panoramic space breaks through reasonable,
gravitational, and spatial logics, and separates from reality.
Everyone can sculpture personal, intimate and unique works with voices
and sounds, or quietly observe lines and colors to sprawl and
extend.</div>
