The Emancipated Spectators

This social experiment performance questions whether audiences differ in their behavior between reality and a Digital Twin VR environment. It explores the psychological boundary between the "real self" and the "virtual self" by observing how participants react to unrestricted freedom in a virtual space. I developed the VRChat environment, implementing combat and health systems, CCTV surveillance, and a real-time synchronization system where VR controller inputs directly operated the physical stage lighting.
