Diatribes
Directed by:
Veronica Graham
“Diatribes” is a poetic VR experience that explores the internal conflicts that arise when we’re confronted with the reality of climate change.
Diving into a surreal mind space, you must navigate through anxiety in an obstacle course of distractions. Push past barriers, traverse varied landscapes, and unlock ancient myths throughout your journey. Will you be able to break through your emotions and find a way forward?
Director:
Veronica Graham is a visual artist working with digital media and print publishing. She practices poetic world-building, creating artifacts and interactive experiences that call attention to the fictions we internalize in order to make sense of the world around us. In 2010 she founded Most Ancient, a design studio focused on experimental comics and exploration games. Her books have been collected by MoMA, The New York Public Library, and SFMOMA. Graham is currently building “Diatribes”, a VR narrative experience that explores fears about climate change. Her virtual worlds have been funded by Meta and presented at Kala Art Institute, Women’s Studio Workshop, Printed Matter (NYC), and Gray Area (SF). In addition to her own practice, Graham is an arts educator who has taught at San Francisco Art Institute, California College of the Arts and now teaches Virtual Reality at Stanford University.
