More about this game
The Vision Spectrum Wheel is an interactive artwork exploring individual perception. The goal is to experience six different artistic translations of lived accounts of vision, ranging from 'Typical' to 'Post-detachment'. The core loop involves selecting a segment on the wheel, observing the unique visual effects and reading the curator's note, then returning to the wheel to choose another. There is no win or lose state; the experience ends when you have explored all the visions you wish to see.
Tips
- Take your time in each vision to notice the subtle details, like the faint flashes of light in Amelia's 'Post-detachment' view.
- Read the curator's note for each segment to understand the artistic translation behind the visual effects.
- Try adjusting the 'Effect intensity' or 'Perception motion' parameters if available to see how the visions change.
