Conscious Square, a VR film by DYSPLA
In celebration of the pedestrianisation of Devonshire Square in Palmers Green, local ‘neuro-futurist’ experimental artists DYSPLA explored public space and community through their performative Virtual Reality art film, entitled, Conscious Square. The landscape of the VR Film is made by digitizing Devonshire Square and acts as a universal symbol for the need of ‘common space’.
The artist hopes that the VR film will transport audiences into their own subconscious where they are invited to consider ideals regarding connection and belonging.
