Inner Lights

Inner Lights is a virtual reality installation that transforms participants into fireflies, immersing them in an initiatory journey inspired by the Mesoamerican myth of the Nahual and the natural phenomenon of bioluminescent synchronization. Created by Canadian-Costa Rican digital artist Bianca Shonee Arroyo-Kreimes and interactive director/composer Philippe Lambert, the work uses immersive technologies to explore the intersection of Costa Rican Indigenous traditions, environmental and linguistic issues, and proposes adaptation as a path to survival in the face of global homogenization.
