Ecstasis explores the relationship between the physical and social dimensions in which we play out our everyday lives - a real time transformational space for individual and collective action. Four participants interact with each other and the virtual environment through head-mounted motion tracked stereoscopic glasses. The work unfolds and is determined by individual action but also by the sum and differences of the multi-user collaborative system. This intra-dependant engagement transgresses away from our cultural efficiencies–always doing something–to being present to one's self and others. A consensual hallucination.
