Manic VR
An experimental VR experience immersing participants in the exuberant and chaotic worlds of an imagination haunted by bipolar disorder.
Guided by the voices of Felicia and François who, for the past 3 years, have used their sister’s voice mail as their personal diary, the user will embark on a journey to decipher the whirlwind cycling of mania, psychosis and depression. Through room-scale, real-time interaction and 3D worlds, we discover the destabilizing effects of bipolarity – the heightening of senses and the untamed imagination that accompanies this complex and mysterious condition.
