For over 20 years, exploring digital embodiment has been critical to my practice, while the driving force has been exploring ways to provide a stimulating experience that engages as many senses as possible for participants, full-body sensory engagement has been the ultimate goal. Since 2018, I have been drawn to virtual reality as a means to tell very intimate and personal stories within encompassing, meaningful virtual environments. The aim has become to hold and support ‘immersants’ (Davies 2002), both physically and emotionally, while telling highly affecting stories. This chapter will discuss digital embodiment theory and knowledge on haptics that I have sought to underpin, alongside lived, artistic evolution to create emotional, embodied experiences within Extended Reality (XR), which, encompasses virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality, performance and interactive installation set ups. It also covers my approach and use of haptic devices to enhance narrative experiences, as well as providing insights for making such works in the future.
