Ghost Story
Ghost Story: a Collaboration in Virtual Art Performance
Role: Story,props
Ghost story, a collaboration among designers, artists, writers and developers in the Ohio State University, integrates virtual experience with physical sets and performer. Exploring and expanding upon the concept of embodiment in the virtual space, the project plays with the idea of disembodiment: the participant plays a body-less ghost that finds itself in a room that could have been its former home or perhaps a place of death. Interacting with objects in the room, all paired with physical objects that are tracked, the ghost develops its new identity as a spiritual being. Meanwhile, the room houses another spirit, played by a performer in a suit and represented by ambiguous silhouette in the virtual world. The participant can interact with this former spiritual tenant of the room, though no dialogue is available, as the older spirit guides them around the space.
As the participating artist, I contributed initial story and mechanics concept and designed some digital and physical props.
