experience 1: Through you
We usually see the world through our first-person perspective. As we move our bodies, we coordinate our views to help us understand the situation. We have also seen third-person views in games, photos, films, etc. We see the whole body of ourselves, but that viewpoint is not attached to another person. And now, here comes a question: what would a second-person perspective be like? In this session, you will be experiencing a live real-life second-person perspective.
Warmup Exercise: On the table, there is a shooting target with different colors of bean bags. Pick two-color of bean bags you like and observe yourself throwing bean bags to the target.
Mini Creation Task: Get a note from the hat. There are three words on the note. You may use, or not use, or use any of, the words as the theme of your creation. Use any material you want on the table. You will have 20 minutes to create.

experience 2: The invisible
What's your perception of an object?
How and when would you feel familiar with an object?
How would you distinguish an object from its surrounding?
In this experience, I altered one physical feature, how the light passes through these objects, to introduce a new dissociative world.
I created a series of tasks, inspired by kids' cognitive development, for grown-ups to actively experience the process of learning the new physical world.
Tasks:
You will get a medal if you clear all 5 levels.
Level one: say it
Level two: fit in
Level three: magic
Level four: fantasy
End story: acquaintance
Detailed instructions will be given along the experience.

experience 3: only hearable
This week I created a series of portable soundscapes for participants to interact with. They could still see, smell, touch… the real world, but only HEAR a different world. They would also experience the same soundscape at different locations, for me to find out what audio does for people to perceive a space.
