This is a outdoor VR installation and the final chapter of Merio Koizumi’s “Prometheus Trilogy”. The story, which is told in a poetic tone with a child's voice, is a mythical story of the future of humanity where humans to become "New humans" through a small bio-technological operation. To tell this mythical story in the an effective way, Koizumi uses VR technology, which allows to blur the outlines of the body, and tricks the brain into feeling that one is living among a collective body consisting of many other bodies.
6 audiences can experience the work at the same time. Each audience with Head Mount Display experiences VR individually, either in indoor tents or at outside park in a semi-public space.
