Electricity Project is a visual experiment project that I created with Vietnamese sound artists and performance artists.
In Electricity Project, I explore the relationship between people - technology - trust. Electricity Project creates a space where people confront what they believe because of the dominance of technological devices. Will the technologies that create virtual reality or personal assistants really improve life or will they create new crises?
The act of eating, a very instinctive and basic human action, is performed when the character wears VR glasses. I want to compare whether the human ego remains intact when placed in a virtual space drawn by technology.
The act of taking a selfie, an action born in the digital age and personal phones, is shown through a lonely character in the dark. When technology says it will help us connect more than ever, does it really make us further away from our community?

Using a 20k lumens projector, we projected the graphic effect onto the facade of the museum building.
