We’re looking for nepantla in VR chat world. a potential liminal space between physical and digital, vr as a mediator, give people hope to cross the border of identities. Does it really providing a borderland for people who cannot find there place in society? Or it could be just another extension of reality? In this research project, we work as collective, to bring a multi perspective and intention into the VR chat world, and try to find the answer through interview, interaction and observation.

VR chat worlds could provide a space for reimagining identities by allowing people to explore new ways of being. However, it remains unclear whether VR chat worlds truly offer a "borderland" for those unable to find their place in society, or if they simply extend reality in new ways. By bringing multiple perspectives into VR chat worlds and observing interactions, we can gain insight into how identities are reimagined and borders are crossed or reinforced within these spaces.
