Vaulting
Consciousness-expanding experience to become a photosynthetic being
Set in a near future when humanity is moving beyond Earth, participants embrace a new genetic identity, capable of survival in harsh extraplanetary environments. Based on the ancient myth of Myrrha – who was transformed into a tree after succumbing to her illicit desires – and modern space exploration protocols, Vaulting immerses participants in verdant sound and smell-scapes that encourage novel sensations and the expansion of self into that of a greater macro-organism. The experience lasts ~30 minutes. (Vaulting is free, but Venmo donations will be accepted at the experience). Afterwards, join us for the NYC book release of Experience Design: A Participatory Manifesto by Abraham Burickson. Not your usual book event, this gathering will be an opportunity to explore the ideas in the book, meet other folks interested in experience design, and get to know a burgeoning NYC community of experience designers. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/experience-design-book-release-and-community-gathering-nyc-tickets-722048425277?aff=oddtdtcreator&mc_eid=c782d01fb7&mc_cid=b774da5388
