Immersive Interactive Installation | 0.5 in limbo, 2025

0.5 in Limbo is an immersive interactive installation that shifts a scientific setting into the gallery space, creating an absurd atmosphere through symbolic arrangements. Within this space, viewers assume the role of scientists, engaging with a transparent lab glove box and using motion capture to manipulate the form and fate of virtual organisms. Floating virtual organisms are selected from the interface and dragged into the petri dish on the right, where they are combined and layered to create new life forms. The “scientist” then decides whether to save, refresh, or leave these organisms in an unresolved state. The specimen jars on the shelves contain life forms, created in a previous iteration that have been transformed into physical resin entities, sealed within the jars as part of material remnants of this immersive experiment. By merging scientific aesthetics with the absurd, 0.5 in Limbo explores the uncertain dynamics between agency, control, and randomness, unfolding as an evolving ecosystem shaped by audience intervention.
