Dis(Orient) is an immersive digital experience that explores how humans navigate and orient themselves in unfamiliar environments by reconnecting with the body’s internal sense of movement and space. Drawing from the concept of proprioception—our innate ability to sense our body’s position and movement—the project investigates what happens when orientation breaks down and how we rebuild it.

The experience is structured in four phases: Orientation, simulating the initial mapping of a new space; Disorientation, which uses chaotic visuals, shifting light, and sound to disrupt spatial perception; Re-orientation, employing geometric guides to reset internal navigation; and Grounding, a calming phase that restores bodily awareness and a sense of safety.

Dis(Orient) ultimately reflects on the embodied process of finding one’s feet—both literally and metaphorically—in new surroundings, framing disorientation not just as confusion but as a pathway to deeper bodily and spatial awareness.
