In this chapter from the virtual exhibition “Global Environments: A 360º Visual Journey,” Anna Antonova’s 360º video immerses the viewer in a unique habitat on the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea: the salt flats in the Atanasovsko Lake near the city of Burgas. She considers these salt flats a natural symbiosis between humans and their coastal environment, which support traditional human labor, industry, and health while simultaneously providing critical avian and aquatic ecosystem habitats.

In this chapter from the virtual exhibition “Global Environments: A 360º Visual Journey,” Claire Lagier’s 360º video shows six-year-old agroforestry projects in a land reform settlement in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Her research focuses on agroecological rural social movements in this region.

In this exhibition, ENHANCE ITN doctoral researchers showcase short virtual reality video installations that emerged out of their own empirical and ethnographic fieldwork. The videos work by tracking, rendering, and displaying full-field visual, sonic, and tactile data in a context in which the viewer has full control and is empowered to decide what to look at, listen to, and feel—or which story to experience.
