Visitors are invited to sit and watch a CGI film and/or try a Virtual Reality experience. The CGI film is 7 minutes long and explores a fictional technology that allows the main character, Mother, to play with Uber 3000, a talking, self-driving car with inbuilt therapy. The technology enables Mother’s derivatives (versions of themself from different times in their life) to meet and understand each other. It visually displays the consciousness’ of Mother’s derivatives as bubbles, encouraging Mother to reflect on the complex and incremental moments from their past. For the VR, the visitor wears trackers that allow their movements to be tracked in the virtual space. Inside the VR they find themselves in a lush and grassy pink landscape, the same environment that the CGI film is set in.

In the VR, the audience can see and move their new body in virtual space. They can use the controller in their hand to pop giant bubbles which unlock the doors to the different stories and events happening in the grassy pink landscape.

The concept behind Morphogenic Angels and the Bubble Theory explores potential technologies that allow users to understand invisible aspects of one’s existence. By visually depicting how perspectives are formed by an alchemy of perspectives, the players make equations out of their feelings to try and decipher complex equations of how their feelings and perspectives have changed over time. It ultimately explores an emancipatory technology that strives to understand the self as multiple consciousness in a constant state of flux.
