Licking planets and stomping on buildings: children’s interactions with curated spaces in virtual reality^*

* Dedication

I dedicate this visual essay to my good friend and creative ally Lisa Procter. Lisa gave me feedback on an initial draft but took her life before it was accepted. At a pertinent time when there is widespread concern about the abuse of early career actors in Hollywood and the proceeding #metoo campaign, I would like to pay testament to the way that Lisa spoke out about the psychological and physical harm that exists in universities. Thus I call to arms senior academics to help protect those more junior from all forms of academic abuse of power.
