awareness by the spectator about the social topics she addresses. VR lends itself
extremely well for raising awareness and empathy, but only if the storytelling is done
well. Therefore Iris is researching VR as a new storytelling medium in order to find out
it’s true potential. As we are not limited to physical rules in VR, artist have full
freedom in designing their stories and might even find new ways of addressing the
viewer.
