Reflect Horizons DT is a desktop edition of the VR art installation that allows users to experience the Reflect Horizons journey without a VR headset. DT explores the idea of whether experiencing the same journey from different perspectives can alter your perception of that journey's space and time.

The Journey

This meditative 10-minute experience takes you on a journey from dawn to dusk, from water to sky, from virtual to reality and back again. Starting on a platform at the base of the virtual dome, you will rise through the vast void, surrounded by an ever-changing performance of realities.

This experience was originally inspired by a trip to the James Turrell Skyspace at the de Young museum in San Francisco in late 2019. Sitting in the Skyspace showed me the true power of “doing nothing”.

You can explore the live installation from the rising platform with full autonomy or view the journey from one of the alternative perspectives and just sit back and enjoy. Do you want to figure out what’s really going on here or are you prepared to just let yourself be immersed?
