‘Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments’ is a research on audio/visual installations by using the state called immersion which is the state of consciousness where an immersant’s awareness of physical self is transformed by being surrounded in an engrossing environment; often artificial, creating a perception of presence in a non-physical world.

In this particular edition called ‘Liminal Room’, the poetics of space will be explored with contemporary algorithms. ‘Liminality’ is chosen as a concept in this project, a radical effort to deconstruct the framework of this illusory space and transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience to set out to transform the conventional flat cinema projection screen into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of visualization.

Light is the major element in the experiment, used to blur and interconnect the boundaries between the two realms actual/ fictional and physical/virtual. It signifies the threshold between the simulacrum space created by the virtual and the physical space where the viewer stands. The experiments will discuss the inherent spatial qualities of immersive virtual environments and their effect on the embodied person. Through the presented framework, the experiments intends to question the relativity of perception and how it informs the apprehension of our surroundings. Rather than approaching the medium as a means of escape into some disembodied techno-utopian fantasy, projects sees itself as a means of return, i.e. facilitating a temporary release from our habitual perceptions and culturally biased assumptions about being in the world, to enable us, however momentarily, to perceive ourselves and the world around us freshly.

The project is based on “Infinity Room” installation was previously exhibited at a side event of Istanbul Bienale by supports of Zorlu Performans Sanatları and Artniyo last year.

The project is realized by the support of Zorlu Holding.
