offers an introspective journey, presenting a solitary dream-like experience that reflects emotions evoked by the desert landscapes. This audiovisual virtual reality project incorporates 3D scans of natural objects and landscapes sourced from the Israeli deserts, specifically the Negev and El-Baryah regions. These locations, including The Red Canyon, Metsada, Ein Gedi, and Mitzpe Ramon, serve as the backdrop for this exploration.

Within MIDBAR, participants embark on a deeply personal experience through 15 distinct levels, each dedicated to a different desert environment. As players wander through these landscapes, they encounter predominantly nocturnal desert creatures such as bats, caracals, frogs, and camels represented by their voices from the far.

The project was created in collaboration with Michal Koška during an internship at the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel.
