Plastisapiens Project

15 minutes VR with 6DOF

Take a deep breath in. Out. In. Out. Now relax and contemplate a world where plastic is completely integrated with the environment. Plastisapiens is a meditative VR experience that allows us to consider this world with curiosity, playfulness, even a sense of wonder. The relationship between humans and plastic pollution is often presented as a one-way street. The year 1907 marks the first time a material was synthesized from fossil fuels, and now that material can be found everywhere from “garbage islands” in the ocean to microplastics swimming in human bloodstreams.
