CHRONICA

Barbara Mydlak & Yann Deval

Under development

Interactive VR experience | 2026
Collective VR experience | 2026

Chronica is an interactive experience that explores the theme of healing and resilience in the face of illness.

Observing our memories to understand our relationship with illness, zooming in on our fragmented memory to try to reconstruct it, blowing over a difficult moment to make it lighter.
Through the artists’ stories and their own healing journeys, we’ll experience a journey that’s at once introspective, collective and sensory.
Guided through a physical installation made up of a multitude
of paper pages representing the artists’ autobiographical memories, participants will generate their own memories in the form of virtual tactile pages and explore different visual and aural interpretations.

With CHRONICA, artists Barbara Mydlak and Yann Deval invite us to a ritual of shared resilience – bringing millennia-old papermaking techniques into dialogue with contemporary digital augmented realitytechnologies .
