Cette expérience VR de simulation casual recrée un monde abandonné et oublié grâce à la numérisation 3D, aux casques montés sur la tête et à un son immersif. Les joueurs y explorent des métaphores technologiques telles que les téléphones mobiles, le Bluetooth, l'Information Superhighway et les chatbots, au sein d'un paysage décentralisé. La structure s'inspire de la logique des jeux de course, où l'observation et la collecte propulsent l'accélération vers la singularité.
Récupérez ces symboles en constante évolution de la courbe exponentielle de la technologie, inspirés de la loi de Moore et de la loi des Rendements accélérés. Découvrez les parallèles entre la collecte d'objets dans les courses et l'histoire technologique de l'humanité. Parfait pour les explorateurs curieux qui repensent la vie organique face à l'intelligence inorganique dans un âge numérisé.
‘Singularity’ is an immersive virtual reality experience that combines technologies including 3D scanning, head-mounted display, and immersive sound design. Creating an abandoned and forgotten world by designing a decentralized order, it invites the audience to rethink the relationship between living organism and inorganic intelligence. The inspiration for this work grows from the artist's personal experience of living an accelerating digitized world. She creatively associates the relationship between racing games and Moore's Law, also The Law of Accelerating Returns that appeared in the human’s technology development history.
In racing games, users can usually accelerate by collecting props. According to The Law of Accelerating Returns, every time new technology is invented, the acceleration curve rose exponentially. The two phenomena coincide. This work uses the rationale of racing game as the basis of designing the experience’s structure. The audience will be able to explore many technical metaphors that we once used, as well as ones we are currently using, including mobile phones, Bluetooth, Information superhighway, chatbots, etc. The audience will experience the accelerating virtual reality world through observing and collecting the metaphors, and finally achieve the "singularity". Ray Kurzweil claims that the singularity will happen by 2045. Also, Steven Shaviro states that ‘like it or not, we are all accelerationists now’.
