Horizon is an interactive audiovisual installation created for the 360-degree stereoscopic panorama gallery at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. The piece explores the relationship between space and horizon — how the human body perceives depth, orientation, and motion within virtual environments.

Drawing on perceptual phenomena such as the fake horizon illusion, autokinesis, and sensorimotor feedback, the work investigates how the visual and vestibular systems overlap and can be pushed toward sensory instability. These effects become a starting point for testing new narrative possibilities in fully immersive stereoscopic space.
