Gateway to Reality (2023)
Installation / Augmented Reality / Binaural audio

Created by Kristina Kapilin, Shaye Thiel and Sofia Economou
In collaboration with Snap Inc. and the Royal College of Art.
Sound Design by Kristina Kapilin

Taking inspiration from Aristotles seminal work De Anima, Gateway to Reality explores the interconnectedness of the five senses and the four elemental forces: fire, air, water, and earth. 

Audiences are invited to wear Snap Inc’s Augmented Reality-glasses, ‘Spectacles’, while interacting with a mirrored installation. Through this interaction the digital nature of the Augmented Reality filters is exposed, inviting reflection on sensory experience and perception. 


Exhibited at ‘The Arrival of a Train’, Cromwell Place, London, UK (2023)
