In collaboration with Northeastern University Professor David Tames, author F. Samuel Brainard, area artists and Bucks County Community College technical interns, Reality’s Fugue is a participatory experience of the creation story, combining art and philosophy to illustrate our shared world. It showcases the history of this technology along with the process of the show’s production as well as an opportunity to put on a headset and step into Reality’s Fugue.
Reality’s Fugue was recently submitted to the 2024 University Film & Video Association Conference and was accepted for the New Media exhibition with Peer Review.
You can find F. Samuel Brainard’s book, Reality’s Fugue: Reconciling Worldviews in Science, Religions, and Philosophy, on the public catalog here.

OVERVIEW
Brainard, in his book Reality’s Fugue: Reconciling Worldviews in Science, Religions, and Philosophy, asserts that a puzzle lies at the center of everything we’re aware of. It hides the true nature of ourselves and the fundamental nature of the universe we live in.
This approach challenges the exclusionist notion that only one worldview can be correct. It presents an alternative mode of understanding using Douglas Hofstadter’s metaphor of a musical fugue. Different “voices” and “melodies” of worldviews coexist in counterpoint and conversation. At the same time, each perspective remains distinct; none is privileged.
Reality’s Fugue: Genesis immerses participants in a virtual world that provides a new take on the Genesis origin story to illustrate how we create a shared world, and we hope it catalyzes conversation.

REALITY’S FUGUE – GENESIS
It is commonplace to believe that who we are—our true nature—is anchored in our individuality and our uniqueness. Reality’s Fugue, the book, and the virtual reality experience argue that our true nature is not so easily explained. A puzzle lies at the heart of everything we know; we are not just individuals, we are both individuals and collective beings, both one and many at the same time.
REALITY’S FUGUE – GENESIS is a story about this puzzle.

“A puzzle within a puzzle;
The gateway to the ultimate mysteries.”

— Tao te Ching, chapter 1
