Symphilia

Drawing inspiration from the concept of SYMPHILIA, this immersive installation fuses Mixed Reality and the art of Crochet, a collaborative endeavor that unites Indonesian crochet artist Mulyana's 'Ocean Wonderland' with the innovative contributions of French-Portuguese new media artist Frederic Brussier and the Hong Kong-based digital art studio, The Collective.

In this visionary creation, delicate crochet sculptures breathe life into vibrant imaginary corals, while Mixed Reality infuses enchanting movement and vitality into the surrounding aquatic ecosystem. This fusion of tactile artistry and digital marvels offers viewers an engaging experience, inviting exploration of the intriguing and unexpected mutualism of this magical land.

This transformative artistic experience converges with the ancient wisdom of mutualism, bridging the realms of art, science, and philosophy. 《Symphilía》invites contemplation of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, inspiring an embrace of the cooperative spirit of mutualism as we navigate our interconnected journey.

Symphilia was awarded Muse Design Award 2024 Gold medal in Gaming and VR experience
