The virtual reality work and dome experience Parallel Universe deals with various beliefs and conspiracy theories. In the era of war, climate change, pandemic and other apocalyptic threats, many people have the so-called foil hats tightened. People read and produce mixed information about wars, the safety of vaccines, the powerful families that control the fate of humanity reaching deep into ancient cultures, or the flat planet theory. The digital revolution has created rabbit holes on the internet, where home-grown scumbags flourish. In the work, the views of the most tinfoil-hatted kitchen theorists on world history and mystical stories are experienced, and based on them, a virtual reality experience deepening the subject is implemented. Parallel Universe explores the birth of humanity, when the Annunnaki, who arrived from Planet X, use genetic technology to create the ancient Sumerians as people who gather gold for them. According to pseudo scientific theories, this is where the world's religions and confused power patterns originate, as well as the hierarchy, on the terms of which the destinies of modern people are also controlled. The experience describes a world where tinfoil hat theories have been bundled onto a flat planet, leaving the viewer with an equation open to interpretation about the seeds of multi-causal truth.
