About
We transformed the original Rising River VR experience into an accessible, interactive wall installation. This adaptation invites the audience to contribute their greatest strengths and deepest vulnerabilities to the garden via a web application. In response, they witness their unique spiritual flower bloom and hear an echoing question from the garden, sparking conversations and fostering introspection and connection.
This piece will be exhibited at ARTECHOUSE NYC from January 10 to mid-April. To ensure a reliable and seamless operation throughout the exhibition, we developed a robust script capable of managing system functions, including running, restarting, and error handling, minimizing the need for technical intervention.
