Wall jewels, feminism, self-reflection, hidden layers and mirror of hidden identity, Felicie Vitrai explores your deeper relationship with your core and the role you want technology and your environment to play. She encourages you to interact with your own reflection and explore various avatar skins
New day, new skin
I'm fascinated by the concept of identity in our digital age. In this era, where the boundaries blur between science fiction, video games, reality, and myths, the question arises: who are you, and what image do you wish your avatar to embody?
Each day brings a fresh persona. During the past years, I learned to communicate in the online world, navigating between different identities. Creating different avatars, to anonymously experiment on every platform: a name for LinkedIn, another for dating apps, another for Instagram, another for Vrchat, steam, etc... It’s crazy to think how many identities you can take online, and how different they can be. You can control your own reflection, multiply it, and design it. When you leave your mortal body to enter other virtual bodies, your mirror reflection becomes simultaneously multiple and subjective.
Kaleidoscopic identity
This installation reveals the multiplicity of identity and its ever-changing mirror reflection, like a kaleidoscope. However, instead of immersing viewers in a virtual realm, I aspire to bring the virtual into reality. I want to make visible the invisible, engaging a broader audience, some of whom may not yet be acquainted with VR technology, thereby enabling them to confront the boundaries of corporeal materiality.
During DDW, I will encourage viewers to participate, allowing them to assume various avatar mirror reflections and become an integral part of my installation.
I am using different media such as 3D printing, 3D modeling, wallpaper design, painting, and mirror design.
