This is an visual piece about a half-dream and half-awaken experience of insomnia in the early morning. As the three-scene video work proceeds, the haunted melody intertwined with the dreamlike scenes gradually unfolds while the experiencer walks to the source of the dream step by step.
(made with Unity, no VR goggles, so I directly recorded the demo on the computer)

An (storytelling-based) AR experience of being haunted in the user’s own home by a virtual housekeeper which is only visible via smartphones. (This piece is greatly inspired by the sci-fi TV series Black Mirror.)
With the emergence of advanced technology devices, our lives are becoming more and more convenient. However, this convenience is always accompanied by our consent of revealing our privacy. And when the smart device has permeated every corner of our lives, our dependence on technology can be easily turned into our weakness. We live with it. We are influenced by it. This kind of experience of being haunted by technology would be a perfect illustration for modern horror.
