This creative project regards the virtual reality (VR) headset as an “audiovisual machine” endowed with spatial perception, through which the performer can enter and probe the digital space of the internet, engaging in interaction and dialogue with it. The project employs game engine technology and an immersive sound system to dynamically arrange digital objects constructed from large amounts of online audio-visual material, and, through the combination of projection and immersive sound in the live setting, it generates a hybrid space where virtuality and reality intermingle. The performer becomes both observer and manipulator of these digital objects, able to re-encode and synthesize them, and by switching between different viewpoints in the game engine, creates diverse audiovisual postures and narrative forms.
