Founder, Parietal Lab
“I’m interested in building experiences that invoke a sense of play and discovery. Are these games? Maybe? I don’t think this is game creation in the typical sense though – you can’t win or lose or die in these worlds.”
Virtual and mixed reality platforms like Meta Quest and Vision Pro offer a canvas of artistic expression that can extend far beyond the limits of a gallery or physical space.
CONNECTOME explores how shifts in scale, perspective, and interaction can create moments of calm, curiosity, and wonder.
