Of the eight billion humans populating Earth, how can we conceive of ourselves as unique while simultaneously belonging to the grand and kaleidoscopic primordial soup? Meandering scenes, ranging from playful and natural to industrial and menacing, coalesce with a sound design by the legendary Spinvis to create this poetic and hypnotic virtual reality exploration of our place in the world. For fans, the live experimental musical accompaniment is not to be missed.

Korstmos is a 23-minute journey into the mind of a man living in complete solitude. Confined to the walls of his apartment, he experiences the world through routine, silence, and anticipation. As he obsessively prepares for the sound of the doorbell, he awaits the arrival of his grocery delivery, one of his few remaining connections to the outside world. Korstmos serves as both a technical and philosophical exploration of the boundaries that define life, set within the inherently boundaryless medium of virtual reality. Korstmos challenges how VR dissolves limits while simultaneously constructing new ones within its immersive space.
