At the threshold of cognitive expansion, logical theories reach a limit where proof or disproof becomes impossible, transcending into belief. When fundamental concepts dissolve, unlimited consciousness projects into reality. This artwork is an interactive virtual world, pushing the boundaries of the metaverse's conceptual thinking, creating illusory scenes grounded in reality yet nonexistent.

Description: <EOSFT> is a sophisticated worldview shaped by modern technology. In this paradigm, time is conceptualized as a plane where every life possesses an independent timeline. While the total lifespan remains constant, the rate at which time flows varies. The speed of life's flow is depicted by its position on the time plane, while the direction symbolizes the trajectory of life's journey. As long as the speed of light remains constant, the structure of the time plane remains unchanged, offering a unique perspective on the passage of time and the course of life.

Description: "There was life before man, and there will be life after man." In Hawking's prediction, the Anthropocene is on the verge of entering the Little Ice Age, signaling that the existing ecology can no longer sustain life's continuation, and civilization faces crises of energy and life dilution. This work utilizes parametric matter and particle simulations to investigate the forms of energy transmission between life and the macro-environment amidst Earth's geological changes, as well as the settlement states formed through symbiotic communication among life forms. In the post-ecological context beyond humanism, through simulatingthe life symbiosis grid, human material and spiritual frameworks are fully integrated into the "co-tidal" life connection system, thus achieving a significant energy dynamic balance and ensuring the continuity of life.

Description: In philosophy, sensory quality refers to the independent existence of subjective conscious experience. For instance, consider the question, "What does it feel like to taste a specific orange?" "Sensory quality" is an unfamiliar term used to describe something quite familiar: the way things appear to us. In our preliminary research, we gathered numerous events and objects that elicited significant emotional responses from those around us, such as dropping an ice cream cone accidentally or finding a trash can filled with bills. These specific occasions and the emotions they evoked became the sensory elements in our images.Through this work, we aim to encourage everyone to be more mindful of their emotional fluctuations, view "negative" sensory qualities from different perspectives, and find healthy outlets for unpleasant emotions.

Description: All things are born from being, and there are born from nothing." These philosophical concepts, introduced by Lao Tzu, reflect the essence of Taoism. "Being" embodies interdependence, interaction, and transformation. From "nothing" emerges "being," perpetuating a cycle of birth and evolution. This process reshapes existence, generating diverse entities and ultimately returning to nothingness. Analogous to cellular evolution, this abstract journey is redefined in personal perception. "Reshaping the Gene" embodies this philosophical insight, offering a new interpretation of Taoist concepts through artistic expression, reflecting a transformative acceptance in a novel form.

Description: This artwork reimagines the 257th cave's "Legend of the Deer King" mural from the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang through virtual simulation, balancing both the roaming experience of VR space and the stylistic essence of Dunhuang murals. It blends forms of shadow play and paper cutting, deconstructing the mural's elements to create separate models, with some essential components represented in three-dimensional models, establishing a virtual simulation space primarily composed of 2D models supplemented by 3D ones. By exploring the connections between virtual reality interactive mechanisms and Dunhuang narrative paintings, it designs interactive mechanisms for the Nine-Colored Deer VR experience to guide interactive exhibitions within virtual reality spaces. It analyzes the symbolic language and compositional structure of the narrative and designs narrative concepts within VR space accordingly, focusing on how visual language conveys information and guides communication. The project explores the relationship between narrative logic, interactive mechanisms, and virtual reality technology, providing insights into the design of interactive mechanisms in similar contexts. Additionally, it offers a new digital recording format for the conservation of Dunhuang narrative paintings, presenting a fresh direction and approach to digitalizing research on these paintings.
