This spring I did a residency about virtual reality
and the body called Bodies in Residency, part of
the Bodies in Play project at OCAD University in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My goal was to explore
different ways of thinking about what it means
to exist in virtual reality that don’t focus only
on vision, but explore other senses. My guiding
notion was: How can you know the difference

looking at them? This is possible in real life, why
not in virtual life? How can you feel the difference?

currently. One of my favorites is the SoundShirt by
