Blackout
Directed by Alexander Porter and Yasmin Elayat
Blackout is a virtual reality documentary where New Yorkers share real stories in their own voice. Conceived as an ongoing participatory project, Blackout aims to bridge social differences by illuminating the moments when our lives intersect in a space where those stratifications are most visible: the New York City subway.
Detail
Blackout is an ongoing participatory, volumetric VR project gathering the reflections of real people living in today’s tense political climate through the lens of the New York subway. By creating a rotating, ‘crowd-sourced’ cast, Blackout addresses the impossible task of representing the extraordinary breadth of human experience in New York City. Each viewing of Blackout is different, surrounding you with a unique group of straphangers taking you to the places their minds go between destinations.
