Satellite: Rhea

Location: Long Island, New York
Type: Digital Art/Virtual Reality/ Live Music

Spring 2017

Satellite Rhea is a virtual reality and live music experience for the Yale Satellite Series. It explores our present understanding of realism in representation, and how the amalgamation of senses can define our reality. The video addresses the consciousness of perception and knowledge as originally questioned by Frank Jackson in his “Epiphenomenal Qualia” and attempts to reshape the boundary we see between the virtual and the real through indiscernibly different imagery. The disconnect between what one sees touches and hears brings the senses of the viewer to a greater awareness.
