Thalamus is an experimental video art piece, the journey of a character through different worlds in a virtual space. In each of these worlds, the character experiences different aspects and dimensions of the body, based on the freedom to choose their appearance, feel sensations, and generate connections in the search for utopias of freedom and pleasure. However, they confront the unease of creating ephemeral bonds, superficiality, and systemic censorship.
