About
A small boat reveals the ocean of Rio de Janeiro in VR. Marine ecosystems occupy most of the frame, punctuated by the artist's performance, whose body drifts in the sea, and by a message on the boat's sail that reads 1.5°C.
Impact
Inspired by UN Challenge 8 - to create a digital representation of the ocean, In Search of Miraculous raises awareness of marine ecosystems in the digital age through a poetic virtual reality experience. An artwork that continues online and offline.
Progress
VR Installation, currently in exhibition at Museum do Amanhã in Rio de Janeiro. The boat's original sail moved to the exhibition space, accompanying the virtual reality glasses. Now the project misses - more shooting days, sound and UX design.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
