"Synapse" is one of the first immersive virtual artworks ever created and presented to the public.
When the viewer immerses himself in “Synapse”- a molecular labyrinth structure designed and populated by the artist Enrico T. De Paris – he becomes an active part of the artwork and becomes an artwork within the artwork. The viewer moves freely through rooms, is stimulated by small flying objects, and encounters a series of different creatures, symbols, emblems, and metaphors.
Wearing the Virtual Reality headset and entering “Synapse” means becoming the architect of your own path, the author of your own artistic experience, as well as your own personal existence: both active and passive subjects at once. A virtual life governed by very real laws.
In 2024, Synapse was selected by the jury of the “24 Frame Future Film Festival” in the “New Frontiers” category.
“You may never emerge from this experience again.”
Enrico T. De Paris
