Finnish artist Suvi Solkio crafted this art installation with Kajaani Art Museum and Kajaani University of Applied Sciences. Virtual reality technology pulls players into nightmares captured on the blanket. The experience starts with a photogrammetry scan of the real artwork, followed by five distinct nightmare sequences.
Players navigate these sequences to feel targeted emotional responses. The project tests fresh ways to showcase modern art through interactive VR adventure. Part of the Stories to games initiative by the Finnish Museum Association and backed by the European Social Fund, it draws in those seeking provocative, art-driven encounters on PC.
