In this unit, I am gonna work with Xuan and Rita on this project. When I understand “nonlinear “this word, the first thing came into my mind is to build a world with 2 two different version. Then we came up with the idea, that we can assume two world of vision impaired people, one is how we imagine what they will see, one is based on how they actually feel about the world.

On the top of that we did some reasearch.
There are various physiological definitions of the degree of blindness. They all represents different level of visions. Like the people lost their visions when they were borned, they don’t have the visual image in their whole life, So it’s hard to transfer in Vr environment . At beiginning, we defined the main character who was normal people but lost vision because of some accident.
Character:An artist who went blind for 30 years. And his visual memory has faded to the point where it is just “an illusion” to him.
The main conflict in “I think, therefore I see” revolves around a man who became visually impaired at an early age.

In case to develop the idea, I tried to find some reference .
Eternal Return is a choreographed mixed reality exhibition exploring the future of memory. The whole experience is a really good example. The immersive performance unfolds within a visually striking exhibition space. The staging gives a fragmented impression of the hidden virtual space that appear inside the headset. With the visitors body and senses as active medium, triggered through VR, hyperconnected objects and the unseen touch of a performer, the artwork reveals how memory allows for a string of data to be passed through matter, across time.
Also for the anther vision.
I kinde wanna this utopia feeling to describe how dramatic their imaginary can be.
