Am I the demons inside of my head?
Is that critic me?
"In Bloom" is a story of redemption, overcoming the darkest days in one's life to find light again.
In collaboration with Oxford University, virtual + augmented reality artist Estella Tse shared her story of overcoming Complex PTSD and debilitating Depression through her immersive art. "In Bloom" was an AR exhibit installed at Oxford's Fusion Arts in Gloucester Green in 2023, as part of "The Artful Intelligence Season" hosted by the University of Oxford's Humanities Cultural Programme, The Institute for Ethics in AI, and TORCH.
In this presentation, she will share how she conceptualized the piece, how VR and AR played a vital role in creating impactful emotional memories for all attendees, how she collaborated with many creative geniuses, and even integrating public collaboration.
