“The wonderful everyVRday” is an artistic intervention that invites the audience to inhabit physical and virtual scenarios simultaneously. The exhibited virtual narration aims to disconnect the notion of consumerism hegemony in the digital era nowadays, navigating aurally and visually through a series of particular extravagance objects that create identitarian disruptions. This way, the setting refers to the solitude of objects that can be bought on the internet to reinforce the domestic spaces of the consumers. The VR artwork together with another sound elements in the room translates sonic data of the presented items, creating a journal of virtual and animated environments within the gallery space.
