Exhibit: EchoVision

Artists Botao Amber Hu, Jiabao Li, Jianan Johanna Liu, Danlin Huang, Xiaobo Aaron Hu, Yilan Elan Tao
Website: https://reality.design/project/echovision
Description :

What is it like to be a bat? 'EchoVision' is a mixed reality art experience that simulates bat echolocation, letting participants step into a bat’s perceptual world. Using a custom-designed, handheld, batshaped mask built with the open-source HoloKit headset, participants explore echolocation through visual feedback that responds to their vocalizations as they bounce off the surrounding environment—all detected by LiDAR Scanner. Through this artistic simulation, users discover how bats navigate and perceive their world, fostering empathy for non-human perspectives.

Exhibit: GravField: Entangling Digital Objects with Bodies

Artists Botao Amber Hu, Yuemin Huang, Mr. Mingze Chai, Xiaobo Aaron Hu, Yilan Elan Tao, Rem RunGu Lin
Website: https://reality.design/project/gravfield
Description :

GravField ('Gravitational Field') is a live-coding and intercorporeal improvisation performance in a collocated Mixed Reality (MR) environment. The project investigates how digital objects mediate intercorporeal movement and how participants internalize and adapt to a new 'digital physics' to form collective behaviors. Through MR environments where digital elements shape both cognitive and physical experiences, we combine physical performance with MR to examine the dynamic relationships between bodies, digital objects, and live musical feedback.

Exhibit: Mythoscape: Blurring Myth and Reality through XR

Artists Yu Wang, Hu Yong
Description :

'Mythoscape' is an interactive mixed reality experience that advances narrative through engagement with real objects. This installation transitions the mythical world of the ancient Chinese text 'Shan Hai Jing' (The Classic of Mountains and Seas, an ancient Chinese compendium of mythic geography and beasts) into our physical reality, where mythical creatures manifest digitally and their fate is directly influenced by participants’ interactions with real objects within their homes. As digital and physical realms intermingle, the blurring boundaries challenge our conventional perceptions of digital versus real, and myth versus technology.

Exhibit: Remember!

Artists Alma OSKOUEI, Ronan Gaugne, Valerie Gouranton
Website: https://www.almaoskouei.com/remember
Description :

Remember! is a VR experience about Lin, a cyborg whose memory is fading. To preserve their past, Lin visits a 'memory rehabilitation center', where fragmented childhood memories are injected into their mind. The viewer explores six childhood memories from around the world through three interactive, minimalist black-andwhite scenes. Custom soundscapes evolve as viewers collect 'souvenirs', unlocking new sound patterns. Simple hand gestures drive the interaction, creating an intimate, poetic experience. In the final scene, viewers can draw their own memories in virtual space. Outside the headset, they are invited to share a personal childhood memory in a recording room for others to hear, completing the journey through memory, sound, and art.

Exhibit: Imagraph

Artists Goki Muramoto
Website: https://www.goki-muramoto.com/imagraph
Description :

Imagraph is an optical apparatus that projects video onto closed eyelids, produced as a medium that mediates two primordial attitudes: projecting an image and closing the senses. Participants close their eyes and wait for the video to be projected. A video prepared in advance is played after being tilted bluish by the spectral compensation for the 'blood-red' unique to the participant’s own flesh. Here, the lid is also the medium for the very object it is trying to block off. The intended colors, their placements, and their motion can be sent, which realizes animation. However, this in no way implies the triumph of projection over closing the senses. In the privileged posture of the closed eye, the light of the video shares texture and fuses with the visual image of the unconscious. Multiple versions were produced, including a version in which the eyelids of participants lying down are connected by optical fiber to a suspended display pixel on the ceiling, and another version in which a laser projector projects images directly onto the eyelids of participants looking forward.

Exhibit: ReVerie: Contemplating Agency and Truth in AI-assisted Immersive Dream Reliving

Artists Pinyao Liu, Keon Ju M. Lee
Description :

ReVerie AI installation explores the scientific concept of dream reliving. Visitors engage in a ritualistic act of whispering their dreams. Each dream transcription and corresponding visualization are temporarily stored in the memory of the AI system. After that, the ReVerie AI system makes an inference from this memory to generate a shared, evolving A/V experience, where participants fly through interconnected dream objects in a virtual space. At its core, ReVerie challenges the capacity of technology to authentically represent the intangible and private terrain of dreams. By inviting participants to contribute whispered dreams that are algorithmically transformed into 3D dream objects, ReVerie pushes them to confront whether such digitally synthesized representations can capture the true essence of our subconscious—or if they craft new forms of detachment or control over personal narratives instead.

The ReVerie will only be showcased on Monday 10th(evening, opening at 6pm) in the main amphiteater

Exhibit: Semantic See-through Goggles : One and Four Realities

Artists Goki Muramoto
Website: https://www.goki-muramoto.com/semantic-see-through-goggles
Description :

Semantic See-through Goggles are a kind of glasses, through which the view becomes once a line of text and is re-depicted as a view. Participants wear original goggles equipped with a camera and HMD. First, the AI converts a single image from the camera into a single line of text. Next, the AI generates an image from that line of text. This image is then displayed on both eye displays. These processes occur in real-time, allowing the user to perceive and act on the real physical world through this redrawn view. This experience confronts, bodily and literally, the kind of radical virtual reality that is latent in a society that mediates sensory information (views in the broadest sense) under language: “The realities which become the same sentence is equivalent(v,irtual). It is also an attempt to appropriate some of the energy of today’s debate over artificial intelligence for a classical inquiry around the fact that “intelligence can only see the world under meaning.

Exhibit: LivedMontage

Artists Goki Muramoto
Website: https://www.goki-muramoto.com/lemontagevecu
Description :

Lived Montage is a series that reconstructs cinematic montage as a form of perception. Participants wear goggle-type devices with cameras and displays. The display of every participant is connected to the camera of every participant. The displays show cinematic images edited by an 'algorithm' based on information about the participants and their environment, from the camera images of multiple participants, including themselves, through which the participants observe and act in the space. This paper outlines the series and describes a version that employs an algorithm 'when the object of awareness/seeing is shared, the vision is shared (the sharing of the view is done by temporal switching based on the timing of the participants' heartbeats).'
