in this world nothing is coming back
Directed by:
Yiying Jade Lin
in this world nothing is coming back is a VR walking simulator into a deeply personal virtual world of introspection and memory, featuring machine learning generated videos. The experience oscillates between the haunting presence of the past, the unreliability of memory, and the unsettling uncertainty of the future. While blurring these contingencies into a blender of regrets marked indelibly by personal history, slowly tasting words that are swallowed back, memories eaten by mould, and the bitterness of growing up is unreliably sampled, like the fragmented visions and thoughts that flicker and fade as one drifts to sleep.
Director:
Yiying Jade Lin is a London-based multidisciplinary artist. Her artistic practice is a nuanced exploration of memory, rituals, and the diasporic experiences of migration. Through her work, Jade confronts the disillusionment and complex realities spawned by globalism and capitalism, seeking to challenge and critique these systems. Her approach to art is characterised by a mix of mediums and techniques ranging from Machine Learning aided audio-visual installation to games as immersive interactive narratives, underpinned by a distinct theme of curiosity and play.
