Concept
Hong Kong Escape Views, interactive installation, 360 videos.

High-res video panoramas of Hong Kong reveal the unseen. It is no longer about density, verticality, finance, and technology. At a time of the pandemic, places of seclusion are sought after. But what are people protecting themselves from? Promiscuity? Contamination? or surveillance? Even the most remote places can’t escape from the World panopticon. 

Keywords: VR, 360 videos, 5.1 audio, exhibition setup, experience optimisation.
