Baoberg TM

2018 / xR Works / Virtual reality, zorb ball, screens

A transparent sphere turns virtual utopia into a precarious body position, while a market screen pulls the dream back into speculation.

Baoberg TM places the viewer inside a suspended transparent sphere and a virtual environment. The body enters a fragile, unstable relation with a digital world that promises immersion.

The work connects virtual experience with the public stories that surround technology. Utopia appears as something built, entered, watched, traded, and made unstable.

A Bloomberg-like interface and Bitcoin fluctuation bring the ideal of decentralized technology into contact with market pressure, media attention, and speculative desire.
