xperiencing an adventure as if you were in the middle of it, in such a way that you are completely confused; the development of new technologies is in full swing.

Take for example an interactive augmented reality cinema walk. Visual media sweden telegram data artist Jennifer Kanary has – thanks to the Mental Health Fund and Johnson & Johnson Corporate Citizenship Trust – been able to realize a special project where augmented reality and virtual reality go hand in hand. This for a completely different market than the categories mentioned above.
Kanary was inspired after her case study 'Intruder 2.0' to bring 'the psychosis' present in a labyrinth she created into the everyday with a new project: Labyrinth Psychotica . This project draws test subjects into the psychotic world of a patient named Jamie. Kanary describes Labyrinth Psychotica as a “do it yourself psychosis kit”.

Inspired by the installation ' Paved with Fear ', Kanary started working on Labyrinth Psychotica. Thanks to a smart program design and the Goggles developed by Kanary called 'The Wearable', her project can be called penetrating. The difference with 'Paved with fear' is that you are not watching a film that explains something, but are really 'in the film'. Kanary: "Many people can experience a psychosis with the help of Labyrinth Psychotica, get closer to it. The cinematic, interactive approach and new tools used ensure an optimal experience."
Mixed media mask
The “mixed media mask”
Experiencing a psychotic world
With the soft, computer-connected mask that you fold around your face, you experience Jamie's psychotic world. When you wear the mask, you are addressed by a computer voice that guides you, while your mind is uplinked with Jamie 's . In Labyrinth Psychotica you have to make sure that you get the same heart rhythm as Jamie by doing exercises. You can open her eyes and you are also sent in directions. The artwork is made for everyone who wants to know more about the subjective experience of being in a psychosis. Thanks to these kinds of projects, healthcare providers can get a chance to "feel better" according to Kanary, who is not only the creator but also the manager of the project.
