ACTUALITY


Actuality is a motion graphics video for Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Media Wall at the North Spine.

It is a visual narrative that follows a girl who realises that reality is not what it what she think it is. Drawing inspiration from Particle Duality and the Double Slit experiment, these discoveries showcases how light particles can behave in a completely unexpected mannerisms. Personally, this opens up more questions about the tangibility of our world, of how there are secrets are yet to be unlocked and utilized in our current time.

Another theory that shapes the piece is the Simulation Theory. The theory proposes that all of reality, including the Earth and the universe, is in fact an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation. This resulted in the protagonist in the video meet a monster that represents a Matrioshka brain, which is a megastructure that is hypothesised to have of immense computational capacity. Hence having the ability to create a simulation in the protagonist’s world.
