Inspired by James Turrell and the shape of computer and smartphone icons, Katy Itter created a box displaying a pixelated sky image. The piece is the result of the artist's reflections on the shifting relationship that humans have with technology and each other. After seeing the piece I was inspired to create a space in which the viewer to be alone with Itter's digitized sky. I created a room in space where the viewer would be surrounded by multiple images, all started at different moments of the sky's video loop. This provides that sense that the viewer can see it all at once as quick as possible, a desire many of us have these days. But the images are ever changes and no matter how fast you turn the only way to see it all is to sit with each video panel for as long as it takes.

In this VR of experience of Shakespeare's voyeuristic Bedchamber scene, Imogen finishes reading a story about a woman raped and has her tongue cut out, foreshadowing the accusations to come. Giacomo comes out of the trunk while she is asleep trying to write down details from her bedchamber and body that will make it seem like he slept with Imogen. Before returning to his place of hiding he takes Imogen's bracelet from her wrist as evidence to support his claims.
