Utopia; “described as an island community with an ideal mode of government”- (Hodgkinson, 2016)
Historically, the form and appearance of utopias has been heavily influenced by ideas about the unpredictable future and cases of unknown, invisible creatures to the human eye. Likewise, the unknown spectrum of these things has also influenced many innovative designs and concept ideas. However, due to the increasing cases of wildlife smoke spreading, sea-level and temperature rising and many more natural disasters led by climate change, the utopian is still unclear and distorted to us.
I want my specific audience to be immersive in a safe virtual space contrasted by both the metropolitan and cultural landscapes. The outcome will communicate effectively and engagingly, exploring mapped utopias with distinct surreal environment using an aesthetic rooted in reality but subverting the materiality, textures and sounds.
This project is also about exploring physical environment and locations in front of us but which are not visible.Through a process of iteration and experimentation, I will develop an identity that challenges and changes through the landscapes led by the cause of natural disasters depicting the unknown utopia within the locations.
