"Evolver-Prologue" is a 360 video that had its world premiere on July 8 at the Cannes Film Festival, during a private screening in the Orange apartment. This was followed by a screening in the Cannes XR selection at the film market. It is the prelude to a full length free-roaming interactive multi-user LBE which is due to be released in 2022.
Our skin is often viewed as a boundary between self and other. Evolver’s ambition is to enable audiences to step into their own bodies through virtual reality, expanding their sense of self to encompass the natural world by appreciating the threads that link all living beings.
By peering beneath this sensorial surface we discover branching beings, ecosystems neatly packaged within us. Through a highly immersive journey of discovery that spans life, death and rebirth, this transcendental narrative aims to challenge the notion of boundary between our bodies and our environment.
In blurring the line between what’s inside and what’s outside we hope to engage a broad and diverse audience with the realisation that we are nature, in the hope that this can expand their sphere of compassion to include the ‘more-than-human world’. We believe that It’s from a place of love and deep connection to the natural world that we can hope to shift behaviour from an extraction economy & consumerism towards conservation.
It all begins with an idea. A virtual reality journey through the inner rhythms of the Human.
