One of the project of Chimeras’ World. Chimeras’ World keeps discussing the ways in which human beings perceive and receive information as well as move and live between the real and virtual worlds in the digital age. Chimeras’ World creates a theatrical space for physical wandering through the interactive spatial installation that connects the “real absent field” with the “virtual” one. In the process of interaction, the viewers will perceive and immerse themselves in the virtual space as well as investigate the technologically developed systems from the visual representation of and transition among data, space, time, and images. Ultimately, the digital coding in Chimeras’ World becomes a reconstructed state of existence and way of perceiving the world.

In the kitchen, the audience can create flowers of flames composed of images by moving the bottles and jars from the stand to the worktop. The images are derived from the Google Trends keywords search. These keywords are collectively decided and created by all Internet users. These keywords represent the summary of the mental activities on which most Internet users live and by which they fulfill their aspirations. They are the fountainhead of life for all Internet users.
