The Virtual Reality soundwalk Toter Winkel by media artist Leon Eckard (idea and implementation) and architect and sound artist Nathalie Brum (architecture) plays with spatial and acoustic paradoxes that reveal our – often deceptive – perception. The space and sound of the soundwalk are inspired by Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher, English mathematician and theoretical physicist Roger Penrose and American cognitive scientist Roger Shepard. Its an ever ongoing cycle, which gives the illusion of a continuous tunnel, whereby the reflection about it reveals its paradox nature. The audiences for this VR work can move interactively through the virtual space and see whether they discover the blind spot. Deceptive perceptions can be found everywhere in human perception, and so Leon Eckard argues in his project that we should constantly question our own blind spot.
