Instar
By Flora Lemmens & Hon Ning Cheung
Instar is a virtual reality experience embodying the concept of disconnection. Moving through a visual and auditive landscape, you embark on a journey of the meaning of disconnection.
Derived from the concept of an arthropod’s developmental stage, an instar represents a transitional phase between two periods of growth. Arthropods must shed their exoskeleton in order to grow or assume a new form. As humanity finds itself gradually dissolving into a parallel disconnected phase, we must “find the divinity within and emerge” (Liber Primus, p.57)
Instar serves as a meaningful reminder of the importance of connection and the challenges we face within that. As we continue to struggle with it, this project provides a starting point for further investigation and artistic practises, creating a greater appreciation for the need of interconnectedness within our human experience.
