This is a virtual listening experience. A visual presentation of the Norwegian/French artist L.U:N.A and her EP "Mon Anomi". A sort of interactive installation art. Where the audience gets transported into the artist's universe and innovatively explores her music. It's a holistic sensory experience that opens up the dialog of mental health - especially anxiety and depression. The Audience will be introduced to an environment that suits the branding of L:U:N:A. dark, organic, and mysterious.
All the production in this project, except for the music is created by me. I modeled in Maya, sculpted in Z-brush, and textured in Substance Painter. For visual presentation, I created all the graphics in Photoshop and Procreate. Video editing was done in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects and VR/Game experience with animating was done in Unreal Engine 5.

I wanted to create a new way of experiencing music and create a space where the audience was able to get a new perspective of how what anxiety and depression might be like. As it is often hard to understand a situation you have no relationship to.

“Det går oppover og det går nedover i livet, men det er alltid lys i enden av tunnelen” - Mia Roussels (YLTV,2021)

In this immersive experience, the audience walks through a dark cave. Here the audience is encountered with 3 main art pieces. Each art piece visually expresses a song from the EP and has a sensory experience, like SFX, shaking, or a change of color of the vision.

Emotions over logic - First piece

The first piece is a representation of anxiety, it displays how emotions take over the logical part of us when we are experiencing an anxiety attack, which usually overweights an irrational sensation of dying.

Fatigue - second piece

This piece represents the fatigue you may experience after an extreme encounter with anxiety. While depressed it might feel like all you do makes you leak energy. It visually represents the vulnerability you might feel when going through a depression.

Melancholy - Third piece

This is a video projected to the wall, it represents the "awakening" of a depression. Where at some point everything might feel useless and dull, new energy will come back to you at the end of the day.
