Reworlding is an artist-led exhibition of new works by contemporary artists from Asia, curated by Debbie Ding. Each artist responds to early virtual reality works from the 1990s to early 2000s, revisiting a moment and digital space filled with utopian promise.
Reviving the experimental ethos of that era, Reworlding is an invitation to imagine virtual space through artistic perspectives, where virtuality is not an escapist fantasy but a tool for rewriting histories, disrupting dominant narratives and constructing alternative futures.
Reclaim world-making as artistic method—centering care, memory, and multiplicity over extraction.
A dedicated, workshop-friendly venue to host builds, tests, and public programmes under one roof.
Early VR (1990s–2000s), Asian media histories, and contemporary mod cultures—summarized and shared as a common library.
Collective visits across platforms; artists map social scripts, spatial grammars, and economies of play.
Low-talk, quick prototypes—letting builds speak first to find common textures and pipelines.
Converge for installation, walkthroughs, and public dialogue; world-tour to real-world encounter.
Six artists from Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and South Korea.
