About FutureScope
FutureScope is an on-going project to constructs the concept of cosmological through a hemispherical structure, it metaphorically creating a realm capable of traversing time and space, as well as to deconstructing the concept of physical body. The exterior of the hemispherical installation, resembling an armillary sphere, reflects the external sky and clouds, while the interior is an immersive space created by 360-degree projection and sound technology.
The interplay between inner & outer echoes the concept from Chinese Philosophical classic “The Book of Changes: Xi Ci I”, it mentioned “the metaphysical is called Dao (道) and the physical is called Qi (器).
FutureScope is both the Dao (the physical installation) & Qi (the context of the work); it points to an existence beyond the mere material world, where the abstract and formless is the Dao, it also refers to the fundamental principles of the universe, the spiritual dimension, or intangible truths.
The physical form of the work is the tangible, perceptible object which like a container. Dao & Qi are interdependent, existing in a continuous process of change, waxing and waning, and transformation, thereby perpetually giving rise to new states.
We vision this work embodies philosophical concepts and experimental content, guiding the viewers from a macroscopic imagination of the cosmos to the microscopic flow of sound and imagery. And through the connection from exterior to interior, it amplifies the viewers’ perception of traversing time and space via the immersive environment.
