Inside

Artist Tim Bishop and singer Hedvig Becke collaborated on an artistic project resulting in the sound and VR180 installation Inside, presented in the Lab’s anechoic chamber. Based on interviews with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) sufferers, Inside aimed to present OCD as a subjective, complex and nuanced disorder. The installation received positive feedback expressing a strong desire for the artists to show the work to more people who could benefit from the experience. From visitor comments it was clear that the work succeeded in meaningfully presenting OCD from the perspective of sufferers to people without OCD. As an art project, it created possibilities for Bishop and Becke to explore the use of VR visuals with spatial sound in a physically secluded space, and the anechoic chamber added to the experiential effect of the perspective they hoped to achieve.
