AmORPHOUS
Amorphous is a multiplayer location-based experience guiding audiences through a series of rooms where playful storytelling, immersive technology, tactile exhibitions, and intimate testimonies invite participants to explore the plasticity of their physical and emotional selves.
The work draws on accounts from people with altered self-perception: from those dancing under the weight of missing limbs, to others on a journey of self-transformation using non-human components.
First-person testimonies, combined with embodied research in virtual reality and body image, inform a fantastical story about rebuilding ourselves from scratch—moving, flying, and bounding in ways our former physiques only dreamed of.
Participants first confront a reflected version of themselves in an augmented reality mirror, interacting through speech to deconstruct their reflection. This is followed by a VR segment that immerses users in alternate-limbed bodies within a physics-driven world, transforming frustration with their forms into joyful celebration and discovery.
Lived experience and subject-matter experts have been central to ideation and testing and will continue to shape the project. By combining AR, VR, physical interaction, and narrative, Amorphous aims to create a transformative, playful, and deeply empathetic exploration of body, identity, and perception.
