BUT THEN, WHAT AM I…?
QUESTIONS ON IMMERSIVE MEDIA AND IDENTITY
This thesis researches on the topic of identity from two complementary perspectives:
On the one hand, through questions that relate identity for young Third Culture Individuals with multicultural backgrounds based in the German speaking part of Switzerland, to diverse fields of knowledge such as sociology or linguistics.
On the other hand, through the use of immersive media in a full explorative approach, which includes a study on the technical aspects and their consequences on audio-visual and perceptual levels. Simultaneously, this approach covers a comparative study between 360º video and conventional video.
The practical outcome comprises an audio-visual experiment structured upon the interview format.
