The technological development in the field of Virtual Reality made it through daily life. However, this development causes problems such as misidentifying 360-degree video as VR. On the other hand, the rise of Glitch Art aesthetics, what makes it another hot topic of video field. Through merging Glitch Art and 360-degree video, ‘Reciprocal Reality’ project aims to create a VR-like experience while leaving the meaning of it to the spectator, at the same time creating a communication between the artist and the spectator via noise.
