Extraordinary Accident is a virtual reality work that takes Hong Kong's urban condition as its subject, navigating across perceptual scales and temporal layers to imagine the city beyond literal realism. The project engages a fundamental tension within virtual reality itself: the pull between hyperreal simulation and the deep visual histories that shape how we imagine place.
That tension is filtered through Hong Kong — a city historically defined by overlapping oppositions: density and distance, intimacy and abstraction, representation and data. Structured as a sequence of seven scenes, the work moves through discrete spatial and temporal registers — from microscopic particles to the urban skyline — deploying VR not as a tool of replication but as an instrument for perceptual dislocation and narrative reconstruction.
