- Into the rainy woodsPublication . Kausch, Julia Isabelle; Roberts, Jessica StewartInto the Rainy Woods aims to use concepts of storytelling in an outline for a immersive, augmented walk through the rainforest to break with current narrativessurrounding the topic of climate change and to create an emotional proximity with and empathy for the destruction of the rainforest. Based on Campbell’s (1949) Hero’s Journey, I have conceptualized A Journey of the Virtual Hero, one that is based on an immersive experience, with a possibility to get lost in the woods, posing openended questions. The project is based on the argument that creating proximity with issues surrounding the Amazon rainforest using both storytelling and discourse, allows for agency through the performative act of clicking and/or walking through a virtual space, both of which facilitate empathy.
