A VR EXPERIENCE BY NEMO VOS

Synopsis

There are 8 billion people living on Earth now. 

8 Billion Selves by Nemo Vos takes the scenic route across this planet.

In the shoes of an observing visitor, we travel through the world where 8 billion people are born, work, wage war, love, dance, create art, and die.

8 Billion Selves is not an ordinary film. It is Virtual Reality.

A medium for which a visual language has not yet been developed. It is a new poetry. What you see, what you experience, is something only you can experience like this. Only you. Among 8 billion others.

2024 Kaohsiung film festival xr dreamland award for best vr360

8 BILLION SELVES won the award for Best VR360 Experience – The international jury, consisting of leading professionals from the industry, provided a detailed jury report explaining the choice for this production.

“The work maintains a consistent expressive quality throughout, presenting raw and unrefined experiences filled with madness and critiques of capitalism. In an era dominated by political correctness, this piece allows us to feel the freedom of VR once more.”

PRESS TALK

Filmkrant

Het virtual reality-aanbod van het IFFR is helaas klein gebleven. Met de collectieve zaalervaring van 8 miljard ikken – met live muzikale begeleiding door Spinvis – zette het festival desondanks een stap voorwaarts.

NRC

De ‘nieuwe wildernis’ is bijvoorbeeld te herkennen in VR-film 8 miljard ikken van Nemo Vos, die hiervoor samenwerkte met muzikant en verhalenverteller Spinvis – die zijn composities voor de gelegenheid live uitvoert. Het is een van de hoogtepunten van het festival.

Het Parool

Hoe kunnen al die 8 miljard mensen die inmiddels op aarde rondlopen zichzelf uniek vinden, terwijl ze ook onderdeel zijn van de ‘grote, caleidoscopische oersoep’, vraagt maker Tibor de Jong (alias Nemo Vos) zich af.
