Just months after the Onassis Culture digital art exhibition “Plásmata: Bodies, Dreams, and Data” set inside Pedion tou Areos park, Onassis Stegi is presenting I AM (VR), the first virtual work created by the acclaimed theater director Susanne Kennedy and Markus Selg in collaboration with Rodrik Biersteker.

I AM (VR) is the closest thing to the metaverse and techno-shamanism. A singular immersive performance, a psychedelic trip that’s also a game of self-awareness in a virtual reality setting, brought to you by one of the most important German directors working today.

Do we know who we are? Where we’re going to? What we’re looking for? Well, the time has come for us to consult our digital oracle. Because “I AM (VR)” is a virtual reality experience that draws participants wearing VR headsets into one of Onassis Stegi’s lesser known spaces, where they’ll find themselves inside mysterious rooms, opening doors onto the unknown, and walking down tunnels that – like wormholes of sorts – lead through the fabric of spacetime to reach new planets, set under new skies, to stand before a new oracle. And as the voice of the narrator guiding you along this psychedelic trip of self-awareness says: “If you think of fire, you are on fire. If you think of war, you will cause war. All depends on your imagination.”
