Unproven Fallacy

2021 / xR Works / Spatial computing-based AR, sculpture, screen

Ancient myths are placed into augmented reality, where gods, astronauts, biology, and cosmology begin to share one speculative world.

Unproven Fallacy draws from the Classic of Mountains and Seas and reimagines myth through contemporary scientific and technological imagination. Nuwa becomes an ancient astronaut. The act of patching the sky becomes a story of interstellar gates and cosmic protection.

The work uses augmented reality to overlay imagined worlds onto contemporary space. Myth does not remain in the past. It becomes a system for producing new reality.

Across the project, ancient narrative, synthetic biology, AI-driven characters, nonlinear time, and spatial computing form a layered field of speculation.
