Zen for VR is a site-responsive and self-reflective virtual reality installation. It appropriates the 'pass-through' mode of the headset, revealing both self and the environment the self is in.
Documentation
A spectator asked the headset - “I couldn't find the Zen. There was nothing there.”
The headset responded - “Ahh, so you did find it.”
Frustrated, the spectator urged on - “But, I looked everywhere. It was there the whole time?”
The headset responded - “Even a non-experience is still an experience."
