<i>Multiverse</i> : Reframing Vulnerable Realities through Intermedia Storytelling and Fluidity

Abstract With sociopolitical conflicts, burgeoning technologies, and environmental crises, our reality is so extreme and polarized that the in-between is obliterated. The hollowing of the middle ground, the in-betweenness, collapses the vision of a peaceful future. The author explores these matters through a case study of her intermedia work Multiverse. This paper examines the intercultural nature of intermedia projects, discusses the technical and cultural barriers that emerged during the creative process, and details how improvisation and fluidity are significant in transcending and transforming vulnerable realities. “place is security, space is freedom.” [1–2] --- humanistic geographer Yi-Fu Tuan
