Black Museum

2024

Game engine, 3D printing, mixed media, video

Black Museum features sculptures and a real-time game built with game engines, blending images and spatial constructions into large-scale installations. It explores the dialectical interaction between the virtual and the real in the contemplation of perception. In humanity’s pursuit of technology, the initial focus is on technology and aims to replace labor, or perhaps surpass life itself. After this, what should humanity pursue? This art installation shows a person pushing a rock, but the destination of the stone remains uncertain. This act illustrates an endless process of pushing it somewhere, yet also resembles being stuck in this phase.
