Heat Island: The wonderful heartfelt sentiment

Please register here.

The artist proposes a digital poem, created inside a series of Mozilla Hub rooms. The poem incorporates sound composition, 3d design, and discussion around the healing process through digital media and virtual reality.

The digital poem features rooms, where participants can journey through mystical landscapes and sound experiences, walking through the narrative of a child who died prematurely and as part of an archive of human memories, lives in a virtual world. The young Narcissus, the name of the first character and guider, immerse the public into his world telling the story of his family members through sound-poems, taking participants on an intimate journey through childhood, adulthood, and a fictitious digital archive of a kid, relating to the story of humanity marked by the effects of climate change, forced migrations and abrupt separations.
