Our world is drowning in an uncontrollable sea of information and objects. In an age where our physicality and sense of time are disappearing, what is it that connects us to reality? Isn't it the physicality, the daily life, that is left behind in the virtual world? We will anchor ourselves in the sea of time that we humans have spent so far. We envisioned the horizontal axis of the space as a "real space". Both performers and participants were made to experience "living" in this horizontal space. The vertical axis was assumed to be virtual reality, and the accumulation of data was symbolized by a huge iceberg suspended from the ceiling. Images collected via the Internet are projected onto the iceberg, reflecting and illuminating the real world. The iceberg is made of 0.4 mm thick aluminum-metallized film sheet. The thinness of the sheet allows the coverage of huge area with only a small volume and weight. This durable material can be folded and reused after the event.
