IMMANUEL

"Immanuel" is an immersive post-human installation / VR experience depicting a complex and multi-layered vision of a different future revolving around artificial intelligence through a complex and multi-layered installation. This multi-stage experience consists of reading a graphic novel, visiting an abandoned laboratory, conducting experiments, watching a video, and finally meeting the eponymous Immanuel through VR. By creating an immersive environment, we enable the viewer to gradually enter a future vision in which research objects try to live a separate – but inevitably short – life, while humanity is entangled in their persisting conflicts and problems, carrying fears and resentments from generation to generation.
