Facade

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

‚Facade‘ is a VR experience prototype for the exhibition of the figurine of Artemis. My proposed exhibition allows the audience to immerse themselves in the environment of Greek mythology. ‚Facade‘ is a VR adventure game that allows the user to travel to the world of Greek Gods and Goddesses; this encourages the audience to be educated through Artemis‘ character as well as experience the ways of Ancient Greece in 200BC through technology. This is encouraged through engaging games, such as archery.

The meaning of façade is the hidden awareness of the sexualisation of famous feminine figures around the world and throughout history. This is greatly depicted through statues or figurines of goddesses, which is seen particularly seen in the figurine owned by the Powerhouse Museum; where only the mid-body was showed of Artemis. The aim of this vr experience was to purposefully allow the audience to unveil Artemis‘ character and the truth of her power as feminine figure towards women and young children. I aim to create an open mind to the portrayal of these goddesses and how inner beauty can be depicted as powerful as outer beauty. Furthermore, educate the audience in Greek mythology as well as Ancient Greece through an engaging experience.

This design is part of the student learning experience in 87009 or 87445 VC Design Studio: Visualising Experience Spring 2021 in the Faculty of Design Architecture and Built Environment (DAB) University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and is not a professional design outcome. This project was developed under the guidance of studio leaders and demonstrators. As a response to a notional assessment brief, it is not directly connected to the Powerhouse Museum.
