The Day the Gods Stop Laughing

Description
The first episode takes place at Duddell’s Hong Kong and features Hong Kong artists Doreen Chan, Tap Chan, Silas Fong, and Guangzhou-born, Vienna-based artist Ye Hui, creating independent yet intertwined narratives and situations within the subliminal states of the site. Together, these four individual artist projects establish new links between symbols of matter and experience, developing new interactions between the environment, forms, themes, and man. If we take a design-heavy restaurant with a consumer aesthetic as a field of collective unconsciousness, it offers an opportunity to inspire the audience/guest to form a concrete and performative yet incomplete consciousness of the self. Just like the androids’ system setup failure in Westworld, the protagonists on-site may experience a sort of magical realization.
