VR project inspired by the choreography E-motional Landscapes by Outi Valanto and collaborators. The project has 2 parts: Movement / Space and Movement / Light.
About E-motional Landscapes (from project description):

(…) It presents invisible landscapes of mind from the dancers, anticipates the movers’ way to create mapping of the space and reveals how maneuvering in spatiality happens by the dancers in real architectural space as well as in connection to their own perception. E-motional Landscapes opens up the various aspects that constitutes the act of mapping like the primary human condition to direct towards light (…)
