"Erasing Silence"
Conducting Institution: Sogang University
Industry-Academic Collaboration: d’strict
Hate is different from violence, and it appears subtly in everyday life. We believe that the tragedies prevalent in our society today, such as epidemics, wars, disasters, and conflicts, stem from ‘hating each other’. This ‘hate’ has worsened with the development of the internet and social networks. We focused on ‘hating in the digital world’, a new social problem that amplifies these conflicts. In our VR project, we used digital elements such as texts, photos, and videos to illustrate our thoughts. We aimed to express the internet and social media world in an abstract manner within the VR space.
In our project, users must find and interact with 3D objects in the VR space, and by completing missions, they can solve problems and achieve positive outcomes. We wanted to convey to users that these small acts require great courage, but they can transform ‘hate’ into ‘love’ and actually help others. This project carries the message that we should not ignore everyday hate and should be courageous.
With the support of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, this project was produced by the Virtual Augmentation Reality Business Group of the Department of Art and Technology at Sogang University.
