META| m o r p h is an interactive online experience fusing dance, music, film, projection art & animation, to ideate digital disruption of the human experience. At the intersection between art and technology, 

 

The work speaks to digital disruption and its effects on our human experience, today and in the near future. Digital and virtual connections weave us together, creating new modes for connection, while simultaneously causing isolation. The work immerses the viewer in a dreamscape where the dialogue between real and virtual, human and digital, collides indefinitely. 

 

Created during lockdown , June 2020.

 

META | m o r p h is an interactive film, inviting you, the viewer, into a “choose your own adventure” style experience. At the start of the journey, you are presented with four representations:

 

evolution 

rebirth

transfiguration

alteration

 

By selecting one option, you enter a room where you meet the main character for that channel. After each chapter, you will be given the choice between two options to continue watching the character’s journey. Each choice results in a unique interaction between the main character and their virtual self, human self, invisible self, or fictional self, while also determining which conclusion of that character’s story you experience.

 

Once you reach an ending, the interactive film gives you the option to go back to the start of the same story and make different choices, to experience another outcome. Or, you could select a new word, to start a second journey with a different character. After that play through, choose your next story or restart the same story with new choices, and so on.
