Between Empty

Cross-media Worldcraft | Narrative Game | In-progress

Between Empty is a cross-media world building and 尝试发展VR的experience set in a world where every being is made of mirrors. These mirror bodies have no stable “inside”; they only know themselves through whatever falls onto their surfaces – light, colour, images, other people’s gazes. Existence is measured in reflections: what is seen, tracked, or named feels real, and what falls into darkness risks evaporating.

The project is, at heart, a philosophical game about a self assembled from external inputs. It takes the contemporary feeling of being constantly reachable – every opinion, image and metric pushed up to your face – and exaggerates it into a literal condition: a world where beings have learned to live without an inner core, relying on reflections, recognition and data trails to feel that they exist at all.
