Josephine Rydberg’s Making public

Mud in the Machine is an artistic research project where the doctoral candidate explores forms of embodied play and larping in VR as a practice of posthumanist resistance in a transhumanist architecture. It looks at some of the affordances of the VR space, and uses the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula K. LeGuin as a frame for larping as a practice of relationship centric dramaturgy. The event is being held in Gothenburg.
