What Does It Mean to Feel?
Blending ancient ritual and contemporary technology, Telaria is a virtual reality installation that invites participants to wear a reactive, haptic cape inspired by indigenous spiritual garments. Visitors embody an ancient creature slowly dissolving inside a dense white fog. As they navigate a landscape of fragmented senses, tactile sensations cling to their bodies—pulses, frequencies, murmurs—searching for their path home. Every step activates a choreographed symphony of light, sound, and localized vibration, tasking the user with stitching a fractured entity back together.
