synopsis

Lesbian Simulator is an interactive virtual reality artwork and video game which will prompt users to experience the world from the perspective of a lesbian girl. While this artistic ode to love and sexual preference doesn’t shy away from tackling serious issues as well, such as the discrimination and abuse that lesbians still face today, an uplifting experience full of joy, humour and a touch of glitter!
Meer lesbische, gay, biseksuele, trans-, intersekse en queer personen ( LGBTIQ+) zijn nu open over wie ze zijn, maar angst, geweld en discriminatie blijven groot. Veel queers passen hun gedrag aan in de openbare ruimte om dit geweld te kunnen vermijden. Alleen maar omdat ze verliefd worden op iemand van hetzelfde geslacht. Gay Simulator is een interactief VR-kunstwerk met game-elementen dat inzicht geeft in het verhaal van een hedendaagse lesbienne.
