V-REAL is a poignant critique of the relentless wholesale commodification of our domestic lives, shedding light on its profound implications for housing markets and the unchecked monetization of our private data.
Through the ironic lens of the fictional rental service enterprise VAPORS, the project unveils a near-future scenario of unconventional living conditions, marked by the unbridled voracity of experience capitalism and the possibility of a complete domestic sell-out.
“Consider the possibility that all homes could be your home. VAPORS delivers real homes and real lives, always to your convenience.“
V-REAL offers a glimpse into a shifting domestic lifestyle exploring the tension between technology and intimacy, between voyeurism and empathy. Through a series of XR performances, an interactive and reflective dialogue is designed to critically ponder amongst the complexity of dwelling, belonging, and their mediation.
V-REAL is funded by the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony, co-financed by tax funds from the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament, and the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union through the European Media Art Platform. It is supported by Onassis AiR and the Onassis ONX Fellowship, and Culture Moves Europe – Mobility Funding for the Creative and Cultural Sectors.
