The Metamorphosis VR Installation


  • Goethe-Institut Prag, Prague, Czech Republic (map)

The Metamorphosis VR is an interactive gallery installation hosted at the Goethe Institut Prag in Prague, Czech Republic. It consists of 1) a virtual reality experience that takes audience members into the room of Gregor Samsa, the lead character of Franz Kafka's 1915 novella The Metamorphosis, 2) a pains-stakingly crafted miniature version of Samsa's room, and 3) a set of headphones where one can listen to music inspired by the metamorphosis.

My role on this production was as dialogue editor, sound designer, and audio technology consultant. Instagram here. | Goethe Institut event page here.
