“What homes are made of: The Architecture of Displacement” is a room-scale, interactive virtual reality experience taking you on a unique and emotional journey through one’s most personal space while blurring the boundaries between what’s expected to be perceived as real versus reality constructed by strong longing and memories. When you move countries, what place can you call a home? Can there be few of them? And what makes that place a home; memories we carry on with us or there is a new reality that is being co-constructed by a particular place together with us over time? Ivsic’s debut VR work is questioning the “reality” that is expected to be represented and found in point clouds.
While a meticulous and “accurate” visual model of Ivsic’s Melbourne apartment has been created, deliberately displaced sounds coming from a completely different “reality”, one existing in her hometown Vinkovci (Croatia), have been added to the point cloud space. The resulting VR experience questions how our perception of the space itself is affected by this unsettling juxtaposition. How does this experiential knowledge translate to the construction of the space itself, disrupting the “visual truth” by inserting sounds that are both someone’s memory and yet another reality existing in parallel.
