Projects
Our initial work is focussed on a virtual reality adaptation of body-mapping, an experience that enables people to visually translate the experience of emotions and pain onto the body. Over the years it has evolved and developed into a series of prototypes and research projects exploring its particular applications in arts, health and research environments. This has culimated in our launch of Soul Paint at SXSW in March 2024.
SOULPAINT exists at the nexus of immersive technology, creative storytelling and wellbeing to explore the richness of the embodied human experience. Participants are taken on a journey to explore and creatively express feelings of emotion and sensations in the body. Through the process of bodymapping, 3D drawing and movement, they are invited to reveal their unique inner reality and then observe the creations of others. Using interactive technology in a genre-pushing way, this experience encourages new forms of embodied insight, allowing us to reflect on the diversity of human experience on an individual and global level.
