The Room of Resonance
(AR, Pop-up Storytelling)
The Room of Resonance is a poetic AR fable that conveys a story of questioning biases and media consumption behaviour. Through the exploration of 3 AR echo chambers a rhyming narrative unfolds, holding up a mirror to see the reflections within.
Project Representatives
Laurien Michiels is a digital creative from Belgium who pursued a master’s in Literature and Linguistics (English & Scandinavian Studies) at Ghent University, Belgium and second master in Digital Narratives at the International Filmschool in Cologne, Germany. Both degrees have been foundational in their development as an artist and a researcher, influencing their art on topics within Digital Humanities and New Media studies. Laurien aspires to further address problematic phenomena in social cyberspace, such as the emergence of echo chambers and its threat on critical thinking abilities. Through the use of immersive storytelling they aspire to reimagine traditional modes of storytelling, moreover how innovation and tradition can coexist instead of compete with each other.
