Wormwood VR
author, 2016
A virtual reality piece for Netflix's Wormwood that puts the viewer inside a bad psychedelic trip, seen from the point of view of the show's subject, Frank Olson.
Frank Olson was a military scientist. In November 1953 the CIA put LSD in his drink without telling him, and nine days later he went out of a New York hotel window. The piece reconstructs what he may have seen: the room, the ledge, and the street below, every surface of it breaking into insects.
It was made with Jennifer Wu.
