Medina Siregar, It’s Nice Inside, 2020

It’s Nice Inside explores the new world of living indoors. Noting these unprecedented times, we must now be able work, live and function in the square by square spaces of our own homes. We are stuck indoors with less breathing space than normal and this can have a huge impact on the way we must think. A simple change we can make is to change our mindset to the idea that this ISO isn’t so much a prison but rather a retreat. This 3D AR experience explores the idea of how the surroundings an individual submerges themselves in can be inf uential to the individual’s wellbeing, using dreamscapes and a blend of reality. Our physical spaces play a huge role in ensuring we work effectively but a large portion of this also lies in the structures of our own mindsets. So, while others might be changing their spaces around them to suit their new conditions to work from home or to stay f t while gyms are closed, making space in the mind for all the thinking we are now stuck with and creating a positive environment mentally is just as needed if not, more important. In times like this, we must hone into our needs and that is the need to stay healthy in our minds, because just as it is important to be comfortable in our homes, our minds must be equally as enjoyable to be inside of too.
