“..to live means first and foremost to look, taste, feel, and smell the world around us.” (Emanuele Coccia, 2016) With more recent enhancements of immersive and sensing technologies, our 'sensoriums' have intensified and become more mediated than ever before. Art and concepts (that are our “strange tools” – coined by contemporary philosopher Alva Noë (2015)) are perfect instruments to stimulate our perception.

The online version of the new VR work, a sequel to the previous work, will be revised and exhibited as Ars Electronica 2021 Garden TOKYO ver.
