Antipsychotic

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

Embark on an immersive XR installation that blends psychotropic cyberpunk aesthetics with high fidelity sound and poetry to explore personal experiences with bipolar disorder.

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.
