In 2045, advanced technologies propelled society toward a relentless pursuit of perfection. "Reconnect," a speculative brand, is proposed as a platform for embracing human imperfection. Offering seven strains of dreamcore-style sensory experiences, each represents different aspects of imperfection that individuals often wish to erase. These strains deliver distinct experiences through an injection into any of the remaining human five senses[Image02, injector], inviting people to embrace the uniqueness of imperfect humanity.

"Reconnect" challenges the obsession with flawlessness, introducing individuals to the liminal and nonsensical environment to feel imperfectness, reinvigorating its meaning and vitality to humans. These strains[eg. Image 03,04,05] range from the echoing sound in an endlessly expanding and contracting corridor, to the vibrant presence of colorful orbs and the eerie allure of nature reclaiming abandoned spaces, etc. Set within realms where solitude intertwines with lingering traces of existence, these experiences invite an introspective journey into one's imperfections, blending eerie familiarity with the allure of self-discovery. Embracing these moments illuminates the depths of our humanity anew, guiding us to a profound appreciation of the imperfectly perfect nature of our existence.

From the Reconnect website, placing an order requires providing a sample of your human blood to tailor experiences specifically for you. Once prepared, we will arrange private transportation to our Experience Home to start your journey. Detailed information is available on our website. The experiences vary depending on the injection site, targeting your most pronounced sense experience. We look forward to guiding you on this profound journey.

Sincerely,Reconnect Ltd., Founder E

Details

The Theater is an immersive VR experience that bridges performance and interaction through advanced AI motion capture and finger-tracking technology, allowing controller-free engagement. The work presents two contrasting virtual worlds: one embodying Eastern collectivism and the other Western individualism. Each world unfolds as a living stage, offering performances that players can actively participate in, shaping their experiences through movement and gesture. By immersing the audience in these dual narratives, the piece invites reflection on the interplay between personal identity and communal belonging, exploring how these cultural philosophies influence our roles and relationships in society.

The accompanying 3D short film, titled "Shan Gui", serves as a visual and thematic showcase for the VR project. This film reimagines the Mountain Spirit from Qu Yuan’s poem as an androgynous figure, merging traditional Chinese theatre visuals with modern machinery design. Created using Unreal Engine 5, the short film highlights our artistic and technical vision, demonstrating the potential of digital animation and interactive storytelling. It also introduces viewers to the narrative’s core themes of isolation, longing, and cultural influence.
