I, Charybdis is an interactive virtual reality experience for Meta Quest 2 developed by Carisa Antariksa, Jordanne Chan, and Sheilla Shojaie at Bodies in Play, a research-creation partnership between OCAD University’s game:play Lab and Social Body Lab and DMG in Toronto, Canada, summer 2023. This game jam and residency program aims to revolutionize creative technology through embodied interaction design.
To be a whirlpool from the first-person perspective, drawing in and casting away your surroundings, gives expression to themes of non-human representation, embodiments of fear and agency, the roles of women in mythology and how they shift between human and otherworldly forms.
