Realidad Mutada (‘Mutated Reality’) is a hybrid, part-human, part-machine, multidimensional sculpture. With this project, I invite participants to become one with the Dispositivo de Realidad Mutada (‘Mutated Reality Device’) by inhabiting the artifact while surrendering sensorial perception. On the outside, visitors witness the human-machine hybrid as they interact with and emanate an expression of the interior experience. On the inside, the narrow borders of the micro-capsule are counterbalanced with a holographic acoustic experience that renders the illusion of a borderless alternative world based on the Peruvian Amazon. This way, Realidad Mutada creates a real-time symbiotic imaginary outside while rendering an alternative reality inside.
