Introduction 活動簡介

I am/were here/there (2018)
我在/曾在這裡/那裡 (2018)

XRT (Hong Kong)
XRT (香港)

We are living in the age of science fictional world & instability now!

I AM/WERE HERE/THERE is an interactive virtual reality work by XRT.
I AM/WERE HERE/THERE#1 & #2, is the first 2 artworks from our META-HONG KONG series.

By using 3D scanning & virtual reality technology, the work is starting up the contemplation of disappearing Hong Kong cityscape, collective memory, meta-universe, virtual identity, & co-existed realities.

Audience types in his/her name (* An avatar will be generated automatically with the input name & time, then exists in the virtual Hong Kong event he/she quit the game.) and put on the VR headset, and the journey will be started. The audience will experience the re-created slow self-destructing meta-HongKong cityscape, together with all the other accumulated virtual audiences (the avatars) in the previous journeys.

I AM/WERE HEaRE/THERE #1 is the meta-creation of Hong Kong’s Admiralty, Causeway Bay & Mongkok. These 3 locations host a very unique collective memory together since the Umbrella Movement in 2014, Hong Kong.

I AM/WERE HERE/THERE #2 is the meta-creation of Hong Kong’s Lee Tung Street (also known as the Wedding Card Street). Lee Tung Street was demolished in 2007 as part of an Urban Renewal Authority project. The demolition was seen by many as causing irreparable harm to the cultural heritage of Hong Kong.

我們就生活在科幻虛擬世界和不穩定的時代中!

我在/曾在這裡/那裡,是XRT的一項互動虛擬現實創意項目。
我在/曾在這裡/那裡#1&#2,是我們META-HONG KONG系列的頭兩件作品。

通過使用3D掃描和虛擬現實技術,這作品在思考消失的香港城市景觀、集體記憶、形而上空間、虛擬的身份和共存現實。

觀眾只需要輸入他/她的名字(*即時會產生一個所輸入的名字和時間的虛擬化身,然後出現於虛擬的香港空間中。即使是觀眾退出體驗,虛擬化身依然會留在那裡。),然後戴上虛擬現實眼鏡,與不同時間参與的其他虛擬觀眾,一起體驗在緩慢自我解體中的虛擬香港城市景觀或情境。

我在/曾在這裡/那裡#1,是香港金鐘,銅鑼灣和旺角的虛擬作品。
自2014年的雨傘運動以來,這三個地點擁有非常獨特的集體記憶。

我在/曾在這裡/那裡#2,是香港利東街(又稱婚禮卡街)的虛擬作品。作為市區重建局項目的一部分,利東街於2007年被拆除。許多人認為拆遷對香港的文化遺產造成不可挽回的損害。
