Marble Looks Back is an interactive XR installation in which a participant visits Marble, a projected hologram of a game character in Marble World.

Marble connects with the participant through conversations, interactions and touch in an existential conversation about the question of whether there can ever be an intimate relationship between a game character and physical person.

Marble ask whether they and the participant can be together, even though they live in different dimension and so much technology stand between them.

“Marble Looks Back” is about the grief that both parties feel when they discover that they will never be able to exist in each other’s world and the bitter question of whether friendships and relationships can survive the gap between (digital) dimensions. – Marble Looks Back
