末日在不同意義層面已經被宣告過太多次,黑格爾的歷史終結論、尼采宣告上帝已死以及最後之人的存在景況、傅柯宣告人類主體之死、法蘭西斯.福山從生物科技角度宣告我們已進入歷史終結與最後之人之後的「後人類未來」,眾多的末日宣告已成為新世界與新主體的誕生起點。 《魅塌域》從考現學與文資保存的研究向度,模擬末日降臨後的新世界、新主體,將如何進行世界重建與重生。Google已取得下載死者或個性化(人格化)資料到人工智慧機器的專利後,布希亞宣告的超真實(Hyper Reality)世界,從擬像與擬仿物組構的新現實,很可能是人類末日之後透過智慧機器重建世界並幫助人類重生的途徑。
魅塌域(Metaverse)一詞是由meta與univers
The term “Metaverse” combined with “meta” and “universe” was coined in Neal Stephenson’s 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash. Metaverse is a metaphor of a virtual reality-based successor to the Internet, a virtual shared space that converges with actual reality, so-called the XR (VR, AR, MR) world.
The Metaverse project is about today’s virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality technology, which contribute to a new perception of Meta-Universe. The technology has gradually shifted our recognitions of these simulacrums from virtual games to a new reality as evolution. The project title Metaverse is translated into !’meitayu!( by similar pronunciation in Mandarin, meaning !’phantom of a collapsed territory!(. By using the 3D scanning technology during !’The End of the World+!( workshop, the participants’ doomsday stories and objects will be preserved as VR elements in the scenes of Metaverse. Through the interactive activities, the participants will join the discussion to imagine the end of the world. By asking !’What might cause it?!(, !’How to prevent it?!(, !’Could someone survive somehow?!(, and !’What could be preserved for rebuilding the world?!(, the Metaverse project can be regarded as a virtual Ark delivering a portion of human cultural evidence from individual perspectives, so that after the end of the world, some posthuman survivors or aliens might be able to access the data and to retrieve, reconstruct and reproduce the human culture someday somewhere. The low quality 3D scanning objects in the scenes look like the remains from archaeological sites, those then become a parody in the form of electronic existence, indicating the realm of enchantment. In sci-fi imagination of the ultimate doomsday, the meta-universe is where the black hole collapses and phantoms appear.
