Expanded Space : Sometimes I See The Future

50′ / Cantonese / English Subtitles

“How can humans become a kind virtual existence in this age of accelerated digital culture? Is this phenomenon an ultimate reflex of our solitude? I wonder if our physical self is totally transforming into a kind of extreme self, one that blurs into a crescendo of emojis.”

Sometime I See the Future is a lecture performance exploring the worlds of cosplay, solitude and digital entertainment. The project discusses the notions of telepresence in the age of extreme self, and researches into the act of cosplaying. Cosplay is used as a lens to undertake a critical inquiry into our posthuman worlds and how we consume emotional realism online.

The conceptual nature of the performance is made with the intention of multiplicity. Embracing the virtuality of future entertainment allows anyone to be embodied by anyone, it is an extreme self portrait of everyone. Let’s all dance together to the end of every metaverse!
