Pluriversal Futures，多重宇宙的未來。香港知專設計學院（HKDI）與奧地利林茲電子藝術節（Ars Electronica）攜手呈獻2025至2026年度首個旗艦展覽，匯聚6位國際級Prix Ars Electronica得獎藝術家及本地新銳學生創作。從挪威的4米高機械人到香港動畫師的虛擬分身，從巴西的電玩遊戲到本地學生捕捉的城市花卉，這場展覽邀請你探索藝術、科技與社會交織的多元未來。
Pluriversal Futures brings together multiple visions of tomorrow. HKDI Gallery presents its first 2025-2026 flagship exhibition in collaboration with Ars Electronica, featuring 6 award-winning international artists from Prix Ars Electronica and local HKDI student talent. From a 4-meter Norwegian robot to a Hong Kong animator’s virtual clone, from Brazilian video games to local students’ urban flowers, this exhibition invites you to explore diverse futures where art, technology and society intertwine.
推介原因 WHY IT MATTERS
在充滿不確定性的時代，我們如何想像未來？「多元未來」展覽提出「pluriversal」概念，強調多種世界觀、未來與現實的共存。展覽精選自全球歷史最悠久媒體藝術競賽Prix Ars Electronica的得獎作品，涵蓋新動畫藝術、數位音樂與聲音藝術、互動藝術三大類別。透過遊戲互動、嚴肅思考與趣味體驗的結合，作品以獨特視角展現日益複雜的多元世界。
How do we imagine the future in uncertain times? Pluriversal Futures introduces the concept of “pluriversal” — the coexistence of multiple worldviews, futures and realities. The exhibition showcases award-winning works from Prix Ars Electronica, the world’s longest-running media art competition, spanning New Animation Art, Digital Musics & Sound Art, and Interactive Art+. Through gameplay, serious interactions and smart storytelling, these works offer unique perspectives on our increasingly complex world.
Requiem for an Exit 《告別的安魂曲》
Thomas Kva & Frode Oldereid (Norway)
重點一覽 HIGHLIGHTS
1️⃣ 會說話的機械人
A Four-Meter Robot Speaks
四米高的機械人，沒有手臂，無法移動，只有一張超寫實投影面容和由AI合成與真人演繹的聲音。每日定時啟動，進行約11分鐘的獨白，訴說人類暴力史，從古代種族滅絕到當代流離失所。挪威藝術家Thomas Kva與Frode Oldereid的創作突破傳統動畫界限，融合工業機器人、電腦影像、大型語言模型、生成式語音、液壓編舞及光雕投影。作品叩問：暴力是人類悲劇還是循環模式？當責任日益轉嫁至系統與程式碼，機器記得我們想要遺忘的東西。
A four-meter-tall robot stands armless and immobile, yet bears a hyper-realistic projected face and voice generated through AI synthesis and human performance. Activated throughout the day, it delivers an 11-minute monologue on the human history of violence, from ancient genocides to contemporary displacement. Norwegian artists Thomas Kva and Frode Oldereid push animation’s boundaries by fusing industrial robotics, CGI, large-language-model scripting, generative voice, hydraulic choreography and projection mapping. The work questions: Is violence a tragic exception or recurring pattern? As responsibility shifts to systems and code, machines remember what we prefer to forget.
The Cast of the Invisible 《隱形演員》
Lau Wai (Hong Kong)
2️⃣ 隱形的真身
The Cast of the Invisible
香港跨媒體藝術家劉衛帶來CGI動畫短片，探討真實與虛擬身份之間的模糊地帶。主角W.A.I.是藝術家本人穿著動作捕捉服裝的虛擬分身，困在職業宿命中：被賦予意義的同時失去個體性。影片記錄W.A.I.數日的生活，見證存在主義迷惘。無所不在的制服滲透私人領域，揭示數位複製存在如何被禁錮於侷促身份框架。動作捕捉演員象徵著遊走於真實與虛擬世界的「中間地帶」，卻從未完全存在於任何一處。當科技進步，「原版」變得多餘時會怎樣？
Hong Kong multidisciplinary artist Lau Wai presents a CGI animated short film exploring the blurred line between virtual and physical existence. The protagonist W.A.I. is a motion-capture-suit-clad virtual clone of the artist, trapped in a vocation that grants purpose while stripping individuality. The 14-minute film follows W.A.I. through days of existential confusion. Their ubiquitous uniform pervades private life, revealing how digitally reproduced beings are caged within stunted identities. Motion-capture actors symbolize being “in-between” real and virtual worlds yet never fully present in either. What happens when the “original” becomes redundant?
3️⃣ 城市花語
Rediscovering Hong Kong Flora
HKDI藝術科技高級文憑學生池佩宜、區健敏、黃啟彰及余志成創作的錄像裝置，呈現香港本土花卉。雞蛋花、藍花楹、紫杜鵑，這些在急速城市節奏中被忽視的花卉，透過數碼藝術轉化為流動視覺形式。作品探索永恆與短暫、混沌與和諧的張力，每個構圖成為活生生的畫布，展現城市自然的韌性與脆弱。學生團隊將有機色彩與形態演繹成不斷演變的數碼景觀，邀請觀眾停下腳步，重新發現玻璃與混凝土之間的詩意。
HKDI Higher Diploma students Chih Pui Yi, Ao Kin Man, Wong Kai Cheung and Yu Chi Shing created a video installation featuring Hong Kong’s native flowers. Plumeria, Jacaranda, Rhododendron — blooms easily overlooked amid the city’s relentless rhythm are transformed into fluid visual forms through digital artistry. The work explores tensions between permanence and transience, chaos and harmony. Each composition becomes a living canvas capturing urban nature’s resilience and fragility. The student team translates organic colors and shapes into evolving digital landscapes, inviting viewers to pause and rediscover the poetry hidden between glass and concrete.
From0 《由零開始》
Superbe (France)
4️⃣ 語言的音樂性
From0: The Musical Nature of Language
法國雙人組合Superbe的互動聲音與動力裝置，探索語言的不穩定性與音樂特質。觀眾先錄製詞彙、絮語或聲音，裝置將輸入分割為12個片段，由鐘擺以獨特節奏擺動播送。每具鐘擺速度不一，創造宛如滑動聲響的獨特音律，詞語序列逐漸轉化為混沌。觀眾可用按鈕控制隔離聲音、凍結序列或創建音樂循環。作品名稱「From0」象徵起點、循環與統一。當捲軸滑桿最小時播放原始語音，最大時產生抽象聲響。
French duo Superbe’s interactive sound and kinetic installation explores the unstable and musical nature of language. Visitors record words, phrases or sounds, which the installation divides into twelve fragments broadcast by pendulums vibrating at unique rhythms. Each pendulum moves at different speeds, creating distinctive harmonies reminiscent of sliding sounds as word sequences shift into chaos. Visitors use button controls to isolate sounds, freeze sequences or create custom music loops. “From0” evokes the starting point, cycle and unity. When the scroll bar is smallest, it sounds the original spoken word; at its largest, it produces abstract sound.
Nosukaay 《諾蘇卡伊》
Diane Cescutti (France)
5️⃣ 科技的另類歷史
Weaving Meets Computing
法國藝術家Diane Cescutti的互動裝置結合西非織布機與電腦，觀眾用曼賈克織物作為鍵盤，探索融合文字、3D影像與塞內加爾達喀爾實景的電子遊戲。機械神祇訴說計算機的另類歷史，揭示電腦、曼賈克織造技藝與數學的連結，追溯至電學發現之前。作品核心在於系統性思考。當你用雙手按壓織物，電流流經身體，閉合電路驅動裝置。「你是系統的一部份」既是隱喻，亦是運作原理。在傳統紡織工藝消逝、科技日益強大卻難以理解的時代，這件作品提醒我們被遺忘的計算機歷史分支。
French artist Diane Cescutti’s interactive installation combines a West African loom and computer. Visitors use Manjak woven fabric as a keyboard to explore a video game blending texts, 3D images and footage shot in Dakar, Senegal. The machine deity narrates an alternative history of computation, revealing connections between computers, Manjak weaving knowledge and mathematics extending to before electricity’s discovery. At its core is system thinking. When you press the fabric with two hands, electricity flows through your body, closing the circuit to activate the piece. “You are part of a system” is both metaphor and literal function. As traditional textile crafts disappear and technologies become opaque, this work presents a forgotten branch of computer history.
Mineral Amnesia 《在記憶消失以前》

Additional Highlights
《在記憶消失以前》Mineral Amnesia by Ioana Vreme Moser
8K位元至1M位元的EPROM晶片在紫外線下反覆播放預錄聲響，直至訊號消逝。封裝在石英窗下的過時微晶片，見證數位永久性的脆弱。觀眾親歷聲響侵蝕，目睹記憶褪色與機器遺忘。
EPROMs from 8K-bit to 1 Mbit replay recorded sound under UV light until it disappears. Encapsulated under quartz windows, these obsolete microchips witness digital permanence’s fragility. The audience experiences acoustic erosion live — as memory fades and machines forget.
