Inside Elsewhere˚ ʚïɞ ˚ is a generative 360° environment that examines memory, connection, and loss through glitched image files and imagined reality. This work references my childhood experiences at Tomb Sweeping Day, a yearly ritual where offerings like flowers, food, and joss sticks are made to ancestors. Reflecting on the past, I process these personal moments, taking familial photos of ancestors and distorting the data into glitched files that texture this realm.
I feel a parallel between a glitched file and a fading memory; in both instances information has been lost, altered, or distorted. Weaving these images into a landscape, I create a portal to another reality populated with spirit symbols and connectors. The models and animations are made with Blender and compiled into Unity for scripting and dissemination. Through this project, I invite participants to reflect on their memories and stay connected to their elders or those who have passed on, moving beyond linear time, toward the cyclical portals that surround us.
