A+RC Public Lecture by Dr. Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli: Spectral Forensics: The Haunted Spaces of VR-Film

Using examples from Lily Hibberd Gina Kim’s work in VR, that 360º films offer us something far more radical than stimulating our affective responses: they question our sense of presence, our subjectivity, and sense of embodiment as well as our abilities to immerse ourselves within the world. Hibberd’s Parragirls Past and Present (2017) is concerned with interred traumatic events, but rather than evading a troubled past, it attempts to reclaim unwanted memories.
