Be That Ocean

A virtual landscape that offers a space of resonance with the memories of Ukrainian and Gulag survivor, Ivanna Maszczak, as she recalls transportation from Ukraine to the coastal Gulag camp, Magadan. Abstracted experiential fragments, created via Ivanna’s stories as context, merge and blend in unpredictable configurations, generating a non-linear and unique process where present experience and the memories of another become entangled. By experimenting with the unique affordances VR offers, the work invites immanent, affective resonance with the experience of another.

Part of digital arts installation ‘A Thousand Voices’.
