Museum of Post-Civilisation
A downloadable game for Android
Museum of Post-Civilisation, a VR interactive experience showcasing 3 digital installations, is a tribute to and inspired by the science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem.
Lighthouse of Death
"Death is a lighthouse of eternity, no matter where you sail, you will eventually turn towards it, everything will pass away, only death will be eternal."
The installation is a reversal of the conventional lighthouse architecture, with the lighthouse marked by a ring whose beginning is the end, a symbol of infinity and eternity. While the infinite circle is only the age and civilisation, the endless is the lighthouse of death.
Dark Forest
"The universe is a dark forest in which hell is other people, an eternal threat, and any being that reveals its existence will soon be destroyed."
The installation is based on the laws of the Dark Forest, with the heads of separated beings fixed to the installation to show the tragic consequences of breaking the laws of the forest, alluding to the core law of the Dark Forest that "Hell is other people".
The Sword Bearer
It is both a wall-facer and a wall-breaker, even can be a forest hunter facing far above its own civilisational hierarchy without falling apart. This installation presents a first-perspective view of a direct confrontation with the alien and the higher civilisation behind it by way of a stairway to the sky, giving a more visual and oppressive sensory experience.
