In a rapidly changing era, the past has never truly faded, the future has yet to take shape, and our bodies and memories drift between the two. “Traces of the Future VR360” offers an immersive visual journey through VR, guiding viewers across multiple dimensions of memory, home, solitude, and the future. It reveals emotional traces, difficult to express yet impossible to erase. Through four thematic sections, the program explores humanity’s drifting state in the current of time. We begin with the loss of ruins and home, pass through introspective confrontations with physical and emotional struggles, move toward a reassembly of memory and identity, and ultimately project into the lingering shadows and imagined possibilities of the future. Each work stands alone yet remains connected, forming an incomplete but undeniable “image of the future.”

This section presents ten original Taiwanese VR360 works. Leveraging panoramic perspectives and the immediacy of embodied presence, the films draw viewers’ senses into each story’s setting. The spatial and fluid nature of VR360 allows “the remains of memory,” “the fragments of home,” and “the boundaries between self and others” to be seen, heard, and reimagined. This is not simply observing images; it is a dialogue between past, present, and future. An immersive experience of being.
