Stefana Fratila & Diana Lynn VanderMeulen
"I want to leave this Earth behind“ is a multisensory project by Stefana Fratila and Diana Lynn VanderMeulen which centers on outer space exploration, speculative-fictive realities, and Crip futurity. Engaging audiences in an immersive exercise of imagining interplanetary and sci-fantastical atmospheres– conditions that are inherently unlivable, unbreathable, converting all human body-minds into disabled-bodied-ness. This show combines three overarching works: Sononaut (VSTs) & "I Want to Leave this Earth Behind" (2LP) by Fratila, and "A Boundless and Radiant Aura" (Extended Reality) by VanderMeulen. A research-creation residency with the Society for Arts and Technology granted Fratila and VanderMeulen the time and tools to transform their work into a 40-minute immersive A/V show, specifically formatted to the Satosphère’s multichannel sound system and 360-degree projectors. Genres: Sci-fi, Crip Futurity, XR, Art & Science, speculative futures, Extended Reality, Magic Window, Multisensory experience, Open-source, Sound art, Outer space, Experimental Animation, Immersive sound, Immersive video.
