Hyphen-Labs is a project that tests immersive, computationally-driven, large scale installations that combine conceptual art, design and science. The video talks about their co-collaboration and the use of emerging technology in their recent projects, highlighting themes of privacy and surveillance through the lens of speculative design, objects, neuroscience, architecture and virtual reality. The founders of this project is Carmen and Ece. It’s really innovative for them to come up with this idea doing the VR project. But their creative process is also interesting.

First is the timeline of their process and we can tell they started the project since college. So it’s a very long process and they all took serious thoughts before commit to this project. They are both college students when they start to do this project and this needs a lot courage and brave. I really do respect that. The risk that they would take is really big and challenging.

Nowadays the VR technology has become more and more mature. More and more people are getting used to the VR technology. I remember the first time I bought the VR gear. It was basically a protocol the pictures are loss and blurred. All in all, not a satisfying experience. But after seeing the improvement of Hyphen-Labs. I can tell what is different and new. That must be a brand new feeling.
