icinema-tacky or affective?

I had a mix of responses. I didnt understand why there were simulated elephants used in the real landscape- wouldnt a real elephant look better? it just seemed disconnected & kitsch. Due to the ‘liveness’ of the event I felt like I was coming in and out of the experience; people’s movements or reactions around me would distract me & i would lose focus. However, when I responded to the images in a connected way the experience really captured my senses. Some of the displays made me feel like I was experiencing inertia; the motion of the camera sliding up from the rainforest floor to rooftop gave the illusion that though the floor was rising. Similar feelings of motion were created in ‘Spherecam’ and ‘Mining VR’, which at times made me feel uneasy (in a good way), mostly because I knew it wasnt 'real' yet it felt so much like it was.
