Supernova: A collapsing sun - VR





Supernova project is a project that started from trying to understand escapism.
If you search for escapism on google, videogaming is the most common example. I wanted to use a video game affordance to create a place where you can experience escapism through VR.

Space was the final theme and I chose to make a map that represents a timeline of a dying star. The star collapses, it creates an explosion which we call a supernova and it can form into a black hole.
Project was exhibited at Rozet in Arnhem, Netherlands.
