Emergence
Universal Everything (GB)
Emergence is an open-world environment and crowd performance. The virtual reality installation expresses the primal human desire to maintain individual identity while being part of a crowd. As the user navigates a crowd of thousands, shafts of light beckon them closer. As they touch the light, the environment responds in real time, continually challenging the user's perception. In this installation, Universal Everything experiments with software-based improvisation and custom-coded crowd simulations.
