a time-travel through mobility. The user takes a guided ride through a sustainable future — produced as a VR experience and a TV documentary for arte / Terra X.
An interactive journey into a plausible, sustainable future. The audience travels with the protagonist Myra through a transformed world — its cities, its tunnels, its skies — and experiences how we might move thirty years from now.
Realized in two forms: an immersive VR experience and a TV documentary for arte / Terra X, produced with Fraunhofer IAO and the Goethe-Institut's Wunderbar Together program.
The piece moves through distinct scenes — a tunnel of light, a drone-filled Los Angeles sky, the rebuilt Frankfurt skyline, a quiet ride in Myra's car. Each one a window into a different facet of how mobility, cities and everyday life could feel.
Rather than predicting, it invites: a calm, embodied tour through a future worth wanting.
Not a forecast — an invitation to feel a future worth wanting.
