A virtual reality landscape and soundscape made up of 3D scanned scars and their related stories.
Description
Scars. No two look alike, no two stories of their origin are the same. Using a 3D scanning system that I custom designed, I’ve scanned over 100 scars and captured the unique narratives attached to them. The Things We Carry Carry Us is a virtual terrain and soundscape, at once otherworldly and ultra-terrestrial, where scars become peaks or valleys but remain true to their physical form. Inspired by the ability to scale up an object in virtual space, I wanted to create an environment built from intricate details we often overlook, to flip the nature of a habitat. The terrain in The Things We Carry Carry Us is ever evolving. The project will be ported to the web with a set of instructions for how to add your scar and story to the piece.
