In the dream, you are
The experience creates a story view in the post-human context. In the near future, the ecology system could be severely disrupted by human intervention. The virtual world has become a sugar-coated “sanctuary”. Blinded by the illusion of beauty and convenience of this pandora box, people indulge in the virtual world and forget to care about the real state of self and the real world.
Two spaces undertake a part of the narratives respectively. Each has its own metaphor and is connected to analogical medium - slime mold. Slime mold performs as a symbolic element throughout the spaces.
Slim mold is the fourth category of life form that is not bacteria, not plants and nor animals. Corresponding to the tuberous de anthropocentrization view brought by the development of the virtual world, which has blurred the boundaries between people and other species, between nature and man-made, and between material and non-material.
Memories of slime molds from anchor times and extends from now to the future, a story line is created to shuttle between the past, the present and the future, the growth structure of slim mold metaphors the intangible network form of the virtual world.
From reality to virtuality, from consciousness to unconsciousness, from human beings to microorganisms, from the micro structure to the grand perspective, asking questions about human ontology:
“In the dream, you are?”
