To be Lung

Our immersive experience allows users to become more attentive to their breathing and their lungs. Users are given the chance to enter a meditative space in solitary, where they can see themselves breathing. The space is covered in mirrors and reflective material. Through this immersive process a collection of stylised lung’s are projecting onto our user, symbolising an extension of their lungs. During the experience, the breathing rhythm of our user is detected and the lungs are projected on them accordingly. Users are able to look at their own lungs breathing, even though it is not literally their lungs being represented. If the user is breathing fast, they can visibly see the lungs expanding and contracting. Our intention is to bring light to a crucial, yet invisible part of all human beings. We went to highlight this idea of aliveness, and how lungs quite literally keep us breathing. We are visibly augmenting people’s interaction with breathing and their lungs.
