Future Port

The way we created this work by transplanting the city into the virtual world is similar to the way we used to create images by playing video games.

We took Yansui Hubi Temple as our source and reproduced the streets around Yansui Temple in the virtual world. We extended the idea of connecting the base of religious and ritual thinking about another world with Metaverse and what kind of beliefs will exist in the future of human.

The story is the protagonist entering the virtual world through VR and searching for his mother in the Future Port, trying to realize that under the Metaverse life, the mutual influence of science and technology and affection will bring out another kind of emotion and longing. It is also an attempt to reflect on whether the changes in the living habits of contemporary life will turn a certain piece of emotion and culture into a puzzle that has been left behind.
