Remembering to Forget | By Juan Zaldivar (aka. Violenta Flores)

Our project, Variety Reinspires, began as an exploration of how VR (virtual reality) technology might be able to alleviate isolation among aging seniors, one of the sectors of our society who suffers the largest loss of liberties as they age. More than 50% of seniors will experience depression and isolation in their living conditions presently in the US. Our project became more relevant with the onset of the Covid-19 global pandemic because suddenly, seniors were isolated even more than they already are.
