216 is an immersive experience for Meta Quest 2 created by David Gochfeld and Guy Schofield.

216 Below is speculative fiction, based on real scientific projections of the worst-case emissions pathway. Imagine a future where oil and gas consumption continues unabated, the oceans continue to rise, and “climate adaptation” means societal collapse. You begin the piece without this knowledge and no instruction but to follow the pipeline. As you explore the world, the limited visibility and immersive sound design build a sense of creeping menace. Gradually, you will piece together meaning from the wreckage. With details based firmly in scientific fact, you will emerge with a deeper understanding of what climate change could really look like.
