Antipsychotic

Matt McCorkle / United States / Installation, Game / 2023 / European Premiere / 15 min

Embark on an immersive exploration in a psychotropic cyberpunk universe, where each element – from spatial audio to tactile haptic systems – is meticulously crafted to represent the emotional spectrum of a lived bipolar disorder experience. Lotus flower speakers resonate with personal stories, while striking visuals tell a journey from turmoil to tranquility. This experience, deeply personal yet universally resonant, offers a window into the life of an individual navigating the complexities of bipolar disorder, pre and post-treatment. It’s a shared exploration that invites understanding, empathy, and a collective reimagining of mental health narratives.
