Tilt World (2018 – present) is an immersive, audience participatory performance with 2 dancers, a Virtual Reality (VR) headset, VR controllers, and projections in-the-round, created through the live performance use of Google’s 3D-painting virtual-reality program, Tilt Brush.Tilt World investigates the intersections of virtual and physical space of “the weird giggle” as Ruth Gibson, Bruno Martelli, and Susan Kozel describe in their article of the same name.
“…a mix of strangeness and delight that arises when expectations do not quite map directly onto perceptual flow and create a small rupture like a “shimmer” “The shimmer can also take the somewhat more unnerving form of a flinch, when bumping into a wall that is not really there; or an unexpected reaction to an object or sensation in the real world…” – Susan Kozel, Ruth Gibson and Bruno Martelli in “Attending to Affect in Virtual Reality”
