Concept, spatial design, and original artwork for an immersive audiovisual installation.
Role: Creative Direction, Experience Design, Spatial Design, Visual Design, Audio Collaboration, VR Development Collaboration
Focus: Immersive storytelling, spatial experience design, virtual exhibition design
Outcome: Developed an interactive virtual exhibition translating original artwork into a navigable audiovisual environment within a social VR platform.
Overview
details. is an immersive virtual exhibition that translates a series of original paintings into a spatial, navigable environment.
Visitors move through the artwork as an environment rather than viewing it passively, experiencing sound, motion, and scale as part of the narrative.
The installation was developed within a social VR platform in collaboration with a Horizon Worlds developer, where I directed the visual environment, spatial layout, and audiovisual experience.
Experience Design
The exhibition was designed as a small vertical gallery space that visitors approached from across the room before entering through a custom portal.
Inside the installation:
• Paintings were scaled to architectural size
• Subtle environmental motion and lighting created atmosphere
• A custom soundscape played throughout the space
• Seating encouraged visitors to spend time in the environment
The goal was to create a contemplative space where visitors could slow down and experience the artwork through sound, motion, and spatial design.
My Role
I led the full creative and experiential direction of the installation, including:
• Creation of all original paintings and drawings
• Spatial layout and visitor flow
• Art direction of the environment and entry sequence
• Direction of animated lighting and environmental motion
• Collaboration with a developer to build the environment
• Collaboration with a musician to create the soundscape
• Presentation of the installation during a live virtual event
This project was developed in collaboration with a VR developer. My background in web and digital design allowed me to translate creative concepts into structured environment layouts and interaction flows for development.
Outcome
The installation became one of the most visited areas within the museum space. Visitors frequently remained in the installation for extended periods, often returning with others to share the experience.
