A U.K-based artist plans to spend a month in a room wearing virtual reality headset Oculus Rift.
In those 28 days, Mark Farid will have a few handlers and remain in a confined setting that includes only a bed and bathroom area. His living space will be on display in London to an audience, like an art gallery. He will never remove the headset for the duration of the exhibition
