Lauren Moffatt @ Zabludowicz Collection

Set within a moonlit forest, the virtual reality work Of Hybrids and Strings creates connections to plants and creatures through a series of interactive threads. A flower-like spectral form appears merged by connected strings held in the viewer’s flowered hands. This hybrid flower creature mirrors the viewer’s every move creating a symbiotic dance. Throughout the experience, more strings appear, braiding and pulling on a rapidly crystallizing VR space. Slowly, and while remaining tethered to its floral counterpart, the viewer is enveloped by Lauren Moffatt’s surreal environment, overtaken by a series of fractals. Of Hybrids and Strings simultaneously entangles and deconstructs a new way of being across the natural and digital world.
