Autoerotic City

Autoerotic City, an interactive VR experience. The city rises up in Oculus Rift as participants stroke digital buildings using their hands.

Autoerotic City, my art installation, is a digital fantasy city.  The city rises up in Oculus Rift as participants stroke physical models of Manhattan buildings. My purpose is to criticize the phallic look of New York, which entraps and dominates us. In Autoerotic City, gallery goers create our city through masturbating it. The piece is meant to give users a humorous, immersive and playful experience.  The city will literally be in the palm of their hands;  unlike in real life, gallery goers will control our oppressive urban-scape.
