![]() ![]() I’m interested in these ideas both at a low-level, regarding our senses and perception. There’s a few themes that I’d like to reflect in this work: i) what we perceive to be real, what we see, is a reconstruction in our minds, a simplified model of the world, limited by our biology and physiology, ii) perception, including vision, is an active process, it requires action and integration iii) the actions that we take, affects the reality and the meaning that we construct in our mind iv) perhaps most importantly: even when presented with the same information, the same images, everybody will experience - will see - something unique and personal, which nobody else can see or maybe even understand. And this VR piece is a reaction to all of this. And as a result, it feels like we’re seeing more and more social and political polarisation around so many issues, resulting in increasing amounts of hate from all sides. Because empathy and sympathy get mixed up, explanations and justifications get mixed up. These are difficult issues, but it feels like we’re unable to even have any conversations around this right now. ![]() I fear they are disguising what’s at the heart of the problem - which is in no way new - our own unconscious biases, our inability and unwillingness to listen to those who we radically oppose, to try to understand their actions and feelings from their own point of view. These are all real phenomena, but I fear they are being used as some kind of excuse - even scapegoat - for some of the issues we’re having right now. It’s quite popular these days to talk about echo chambers, filter bubbles, fake news, alternative facts etc. But I think it’s also very important to try and empathise with those who have radically different values - even opposing views - and empathise ( not sympathise) with their pain.Īs a person who believes strongly in the eradication of borders, can I empathise with somebody who voted brexit? As a person who despises the ever increasingly authoritarian government in Turkey - my home country, can I empathise with those who worship it? Similar questions can be asked about the opposing factions in the US and all over Europe. I can put myself - as I currently am - in your position, and imagine that pain. I can empathise with you if you break your leg, because if I were to break my leg, it would also hurt. Something that’s been troubling me for the past few years is our inabiliy to empathise with those that we don’t agree with. We are both unable to see the ‘entirety’ of the ‘ground truth’, so to speak. Furthermore, what we both see, is different to what is actually presented. I cannot see what you see, and you cannot see what I see. ![]() Even though everybody is presented with the exact same images, what you see in this experience is different to what I see. And this reconstruction is based on who we are. what we see in our minds, is a reconstruction. The way our brain constructs a conscious visual percept is quite complicated, and not necessarily a direct representation of what is out there.

Meanwhile, a red kayak that is stranded further from the sea should be sitting next to Orange Life Vest and Supply Crates. On top of one of the kayaks, you can get Binoculars and a Camouflage Suit, which you can give to Virginia after you have befriended her. Once you reach the beach, look for red kayaks on the sand. You can find it near the cave where you get the Rebreather and Stun Gun, also it is near the beach where you can spawn.
