Panel Statement

Panel: Synaptic Scenarios for Ecological Environments

Our own bodily perception shapes the way we think! By using Virtual Reality technologies to locate our bodies within a specific environment we can expand and perhaps improve our environmental literacy. Therefore, technology can become an aid to locate the self within the ecological system and increase our sense of embodiment. Self-Portraiture, with its reflective analogies can then be a theme to increase this awareness.
