Our cognitive domain is limited and infinite, just as our reality domain is limited and infinite” (Humberto Maturana)
“Ndinguwe “>>I am you<<” is a perceptual experiment that attempts to blur the boundaries between narrative and self-perception in virtual self-presentation in the reality-virtuality continuum with the help of haptic feedback.
The research project “Ndinguwe >>I am you<<” investigates the interaction between cognition and narration in virtual space within the technical setting of a head-mounted display.
It explores the self-representation of recipients as avatars in virtual space, the analysis of the relationship between virtual objects and their influence on perception through haptic feedback as well as the exploration of the interface between the virtual environment and the real world in so-called mixed realities.
The central research question is: How do the participants integrate unknown forms of perception into their personal space of experience?
This experiment is about the transfer of self-perceptions within discriminated people, which can be simplified to the factors of gender, age, ethnicity and physical condition. The inner perspectives of such attributions are artificially created and enable the experience of a new self.
The artistic research project “Ndinguwe >>I am you<<” was developed in the storyLab kiU of the Fachhoschule Dortmund in cooperation with the doctoral program Experimental Computer Science of the KHM Cologne.
