EMILIA The Trauma Machine Cenk GĂźzeliĹ&#x;

A digital entity with neuro-optical machine vision designed to help people manage Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Emilia, The Trauma Machine is a digital entity designed to help people who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), particularly those with derealization disorder. Emilia is a neuro optical machine that uses apparatuses of capture and media to negotiate the symptoms of PTSD in virtual bodies and in virtual environments. This therapeutic tool was developed in the realm of machines and apparatuses of capture; that is, designed to (re-)wire body-mind-spaces for those who may have a distorted perception of reality. The Host and Emilia invite you to the Trauma Machine to see the world of traumas from the virtual body of a traumatized person, Soren, the guest of the machine. One can inhabit his virtual body, to perceive the symptoms of trauma that have altered his perception of reality and of his body.
