-CÆROL K. RΛS-

In the spring/summer of 2025, I collaborated with TARGO, a filmmaking/immersive storytelling production team on "Crafting Crimes", a Meta Quest VR experience which brings a few of my miniatures that covered real-life cases to a 3D virtual space, where you learn about their dark history through a combination of interactivity and observation.

Not only was episode 3 of “Crafting Crimes” announced at this year's SXSW, but is now available for Quest headsets at the Meta Horizon Store, along with the very super cool “Explore Mode” both ready to be experienced within the app!

In this mode, you’re able to enter the miniatures and explore them somewhat ‘life-sized’.

And, not knowing what to expect, when I first experienced the explore mode, it was so wild and bizarre to me to be inside my models, and given their dark history, it was admittedly a little spooky and a bit freaky, initially. 🫣 The production team did such a remarkable job translating my pieces into a 3D virtual environment, capturing all the details and the tone of the spaces phenomenally; truly elevating a way to experience them.

If you’re into VR and have access to a Meta headset, be sure to check out, “Crafting Crimes” for a truly unique storytelling experience featuring my minis and produced by the extremely talented immersive storytelling team at @targostories.

If you get a chance to experience this, I would love to hear your thoughts!
