The Mind's Eye

Abstract

In light of the invasion of technology on our day-to-day routine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this project is a year-long thesis research and design investigation concentrated on the interface between the physical and the virtual realms and the space of manifestation of such an interface. After investigating the typologies of hybrid realities, the point of interest became a program of a hybrid reality? What occurred to me are mental images; our brain levitates between physical and virtual realities as we dispatch from where we are and situate ourselves in imaginary landscapes of our own creation, reminiscence, and craving. The project is a collection of time capsules manifested into a virtual landscape, each capsule features programmed mental images that are experienced through modes of mediation between both physical and virtual spaces.
