Synonym for a Circle is an interactive virtual reality experience that simulates a circle dance through user interaction with a kinetic sculpture. Allowing the viewer to engage in a dance of connection and disconnection. Inside the virtual reality, viewers are guided to hold hands with digital bodies, in turn, the viewers raise their hands and find two metal handholds. The VR then prompts viewers to move with digital dancers spinning in a circle, as the viewer begins to turn the sculpture spins guiding the viewer safely around the circle. Eventually, the digital circle dance ascends into the sky leaving the main viewer dislocated on the ground.
