An Australian artist is bringing the experience of death to life via a participatory #virtualreality simulator, showing people what it could be like like as you’re dying.
Artist Shaun Gladwell’s show, “Passing Electrical Storms,” at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria can conjure the process of dying through “medical technologies,” according to the official description.
“At once meditative and unsettling, this interactive work guides participants through a simulated de-escalation of life, from cardiac arrest to brain death,” reads the exhibit’s outline on the gallery site.
Gladwell described the experience as “moving away from yourself and then floating off into the giant universe” in an interview with the Australian this week.
