Having been put together in our groups for the the collaboration unit, the sound artists from our group had a discussion at the end of one of our lectures about our preliminary ideas for the virtual reality experience that is being made in collaboration with the BA2 VR students at LCC.

The idea we had the resonated the most with all of us who are at the discussion was a satirical walkthrough of the tower block at LCC where the experience explores a lot of the stresses/problems a student might have with their time at the University i.e. overwhelm from workload, a lot of our fees going towards the new campus we will never study in, homesickness, etc. This is a topic we were all able to get behind as we all have our own unique experiences within the university that we feel we would be able to get across through the project.

We could use a lift to transport the viewer between all of these experiences on different floors – this would allow for us to allow different sonic and aesthetic concepts on each level, and ensures that every member of the group will have something to do.

We were also thinking of potentially adding some aspects of horror/surreal imagery to the experience, but we will refine these ideas once we talk to our collaborators from the VR course.
