Place Beneath Past, 2017
VR experience for Mobile VR
A digital waterfall, bought for $15 (15,95 €) at the Unity 3D Asset Store is presented as an immersive experience, but is nothing more than an ephemeral simulation of falling water in which the viewer is pushed, abruptly. The happening is narrated by a voice-over – a computer generated voice called Bad Guy iVox, that reads information about the waterfall as well as comments from other buyers, which altogether appears like a capitalistic version of the holodeck from Star Trek.
