That Time When

That Time When is a mixed reality narrative – a VR experience mapped to a physical installation that unfolds as viewers move through it. The project combines neuroscience, physicality, sound, and comedy, presenting itself as an amusement park-style exhibit in which participants walk through the memories of an unnamed research subject. She is the first person to have her brain scanned with micron-level precision, then meticulously mapped over the course of many decades.
