Engaging in art therapy practices; their main goal is
to make healing art via technology.
Creating empathy through virtual reality and connection online.
They design games for educational purposes to promote learning and feeling.
They do this by encouraging playfulness in their art.
They believe the interactive experience of a simulation
can be regenerating to people. As it can refresh the mind and soul
by meditative solutions. Avalon wants to bring a grounding feeling
within artificial space to create hope instead of escape.
They want participants to face their inner self and
see how strong they really are
to survive our topsy-turvy world.
