2023
‘Whale Fall’ is an immersive project in Virtual Reality that addresses and informs on the issue of marine plastic pollution and its effect on whales. Using the intriguing whale fall phenomenon, this experience engages the audience in learning about the fate of the whales in our oceans.
A project by Armelle Mihailescu, Riya Mahajan, Selin Öztürk and Janmejay Singh
‘Whale Fall’ is composed of two parts. The first one is an immersive and interactive Virtual Reality experience that addresses and informs the audience on the issue of marine plastic pollution and its effect on whales. A ‘Whale Fall’ occurs when a whale dies, sinks to the bottom of the ocean and sustains a rich marine ecosystem for decades. Using this phenomenon as an anchor, we have created a deep-sea environment in which viewers can virtually immerse themselves and interact with the fallen whale.
