Toxicfest 2021 X Video Cypher: If I die do not unfollow.
Video Cypher is initiated by Anna Chim in 2017, and inspired by LA beat cypher crew Team Supreme. The intention of Video Cypher is about gathering friends to encourage and inspire each other in playing with videos and making progress together
Toxicfest is the final film festival of the anthropocene, and was formed by multiple curatorial collectives and artists, in which the five film programmes convey messages from the futureless present. From June to July this year, Toxic Fest was held at Tick Tack, an exhibition space in Antwerp, Belgium. This time in Hong Kong, at dawn on the eve of the Ghost Festival, Video Cypher’s Underworld Messenger will lead us into a series of rituals: we will screen the 5 toxicants of Toxic Fest and burn our artists’ paper works, dedicate them to the wandering deceased and all the lonely wild souls who are here with us.

《SAMSARA》預告 preview
策劃 Organized by: Gallerie Falena & Underground Flower
Samsara是基於「Maman 妈妈」展覽完成的虛擬現實遊戲,旨在表現人類進步、幻想、自我和人格解體之間的致幻張力。
Samsara is a VR game experience based on the MAMAN mythology: a hallucinatory tension between human progress, fantasy, ego, and depersonalization.
