Troubled by the whole climate change debate, I had a weird dream, in which the whole physical world is frozen into hard ice. I have been excluded from this icy world. I decided to create a mixed reality experience based on this setting that inspired by Alice in the Wonderland style.


I try not to make everything too literal and stay in a dreamy realm. However, most of the virtual models and animations are symbolical. A few examples are: two golden Nefertiti facing each other symbolizes feminism reflection; Giant red elephants crushing the ice on top of the floor is an expresion of the political influence on environmental issues; In a mushroom forrest, gold fishes living inside a huge mushroom shaped bubble is a representation of current social, economical and political condition in my hometown...


The experience starts with a set of my normal furnitures. After the audiences put on Hololens, they will see ice texture starts to grow on all physical surfaces. Virtual replicas of my furnitures start to pop up. Slowly a lively world appears inside the icy walls. However, the audiences are excluded from entering this world.



I have adapted this experience into three different locations. The site showing here is the biggest one and required many changes. I scanned the physical space first and exported it as a 3d model. Then I arranged the models and animated accordingly.
