This Project was done in collaboration with artist Bert Hana and was commissioned by IDFA / VR BASE. Bert has a fascination for old footage and was looking for a way to visualise audio tapes and hi8 images he collected in VR. Together with several partners I was part of interactive VR installation that is a visual reconstruction of the world Bert knew from his past.
Enter a virtual flashback to the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Like an archeologist, Hana points out the arrival of the brand-new Euro banknotes, the prosecution of Slobodan Miloševic and the collapse of the Twin Towers. The filmed house then unfolds around you in three dimensions, in the typical VHS colors. Go ahead and look or even walk around.
