Highlights
🎥 The Immersive Room, will host one of the most important artistic collaborations made by the artist with Jean Michel Jarre: a very powerful VR experience where the viewer identifies with an inmate in a 12-cell prison. Each cell examines a different historical period of surveillance and leads us to consider this theme in religion, art, science, and our personal lives.

For this experience only, after buying a ticket to the exhibition, reservations are recommended HERE.

🙏 The exhibition presents works that invite us to use technology to help us in our spiritual becoming.
🌟 The opportunity, which Huang gives us by living an experience in VR, is to lose our body and enter another body by entering a different physical and psychological state of being.
💃 On display is an interactive work designed especially for MEET and the city of Milan entitled Shall We Dance, Milan? The work invites the audience to interact with images of Milanese architecture: bodies merge with these buildings, animating the architectural structures with movement in a process of identification with the city.

Description
The exhibition is Hsin-Chien Huang's first Italian solo show and leads us to reflect on how much technology has become a part of our lives. Through Huang's digital works we explore recurring themes: the relationship between technology and human beings (particularly with regard to surveillance), a reexamination of the nature of consciousness, the effect on consciousness of political history and social trauma, and reflections on time and memory. The Living the (Un)real exhibition also features works that invite us to use technology to help us in our spiritual becoming.
