WORK AND INNOVATION | VR installation | HES-SO Genève | 2022


The project explores how virtual reality might offer opportunities to improve various professions. The 13 presented ideas include jobs such as fashion designer, architect, archivist, marketing analyst, and musician. The designs of the virtual environments are created beyond the visual vocabulary of physical representation, introducing an ‘abstract' design typology.

The project has been exhibited at ‘Cité des Métiers’ in Geneva, the largest fair for jobs and training courses in Switzerland.
