“Is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?” “What’s the difference?”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

Shaped as a series of experiments set in four private homes, the lm FEAR OF FLYING explores Virtual Reality and its relation to the control and rebellion of moving bodies and minds. In close proximity with four circles of family and friends it investigates the blurred borders and paradoxical feelings of being simultaneously in control and out of control, here and there, moved and moving - states that are triggered by the complex system of inter- actions that take place between the technology and our bodies, nervous systems and brains.
