Hyper-Reality – the dark side of VR

We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us. “Most of the time (…) we learn about technology from the people who are trying to sell it to us. I believe that it’s important to be critical; to be aware of how these technologies could shape our future. The films will expose the amazing potential, but also the possibly dark future of some technologies, while presenting them in a way that everyone can understand.” Designer and filmmaker Keiichi Matsuda’s “Hyper-Reality” offers a look at a possible future of VR, focusing on gamification, visual pollution and saturation of media.
