SIMULACRA
main project for semester topic "Urban Nature"8:29 min, audio-visual experience, 2021
We, human beings, have been trying to simulate nature for long, from a single object to a vast landscape. As a result, the second nature has been constructed. I am pretty sure we will lose the real in the long run, at least in our everyday image consumption. I'm fascinated by the high-quality computer simulation images that based on real-world performance tests, and also the glitches being made in the simulation process, those glitches are indicator of the world that is composed of simulacra.
