“The window” proposes an alternative visual experience to confront the immersive effects of virtual reality, bridging the separated physical and digital world and constructing transitions to avoid being lost in the mediated vision.
The word "window" has been signified as the interface to the digital world for a long time. The project plays with the "window" as a medium, hoping to pull the metaphor back from the digital to the physical, vision back to the body, and the technical mania to the anthropocentric emotion.
By reconstituting the computed body with a consistent physical/digital prosthetic, the project aims to facilitate users exploring digital space while keeping their sense of belonging to a physical body.
