BIOTICX

bioticX is a participatory VR performance exploring collective responsibility and rewilding.

bioticX simultaneously presents audiences with parallel realities to examine humanity's impact on the environment and how rewilding can bring us together to combat the climate crisis. bioticX integrates live performance with virtual reality, and audience participation to investigate these issues from multiple, overlapping perspectives.

bioticX explores climate change and rewilding via three integrated worlds:

1. Nobrac, a VR game which challenges audience to build their ideal planet.

2. A real-world performance about humanity’s biotic impact on the environment, that happens in and around the audience group playing Nobrac.

3. A collective experience where the performers and audience participate in an act of rewilding.

bioticX had a first stage creative development from August 2020 to February 2021. This development was funding by the NSW Government through Create NSW and supported by Legs on the Wall, 107 Projects and Maitree House.
