The Awake
Selected XR Development Market
Information
"It is the deep of night. I hear the humorless and lonely sounds. Staring into the dark, it is solitary and empty. My pupils enlarge as I look into the darkness....” Peng-Wei Yuan,a ALS patient, wrote by his eyes. “The Awake” immersive VR performance begins with fairy tale-like imagination. Sleeping beauty is cursed to linger in a frozen world. Leaving the body behind, there is an inability to transmit messages to the outside. The stiff and functionless body reflects a clear and abundant will.
