We are exposed to evaluations every day. The standard by which they are ruled is usually out of our hands. The story focuses on evaluation and the space that emerges when we are being judged. What do people face in the contemporary world, surrounded by evaluation mechanisms on all sides? Why is there so little diversity in terms of thinking in the highest authorities who watch us and evaluate us, especially when we want to grow, go further? Are all elements influencing evaluations truly systematized, or is the final outcome in our everyday lives more of a random reflection of moments or situations, favorable or negative, in which we find ourselves and over which we generally have no control? This VR experience revolves around the contrast that emerges when the participants enter the virtual space. The role and position of the viewer as an observer and evaluator in the real space undergo a change. In the virtual narrative, the recipient-user becomes the object of observation and evaluation by 16 virtual characters. Through a random algorithm that influences the characters’ behavior, the viewer can be accepted or expelled from the environment.
