#Congratulations! Director Hsin-Chien Huang's latest VR works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach, were nominated for the 78th Venice International Film Festival!
The 78th Venice International Film Festival (VIFF) announced the shortlisted nominees for the category of VR Film. Taiwanese new media artist, Distinguished Professor of NTNU, Hsin-Chien Huang, winner of the BEST VR Experience in 2017 with his work La Camera Insabbiata, will again contest for the Leone d’oro this year with two of his latest, sci-fi inspired works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach. While the Taiwanese athletes are striving for the Gold Medals at the Tokyo Olympics as we speak, director Hsin-Chien Huang dazzles the jury of VIFF with his visually-stunning and thought-provoking works — bringing cutting-edge Taiwanese VR films onto the international stage and letting world-wide audience sees Taiwan!
Before being selected for the 78th Venice International Film Festival, Samsara episode 1. has already grabbed the Jury Award at SXSW and Best VR Story at the Cannes XR Competition. This futuristic VR experience teleports the audience onto a journey that spans millions of years. Samsara is a Sanskrit word meaning “ the world ”. In Buddhism, it means what we perceive as the world is actually an endless cycle of karma (cause and effect), a cycle of life, death and rebirth in the six realms of existence. In this fascinating VR work, the audience is reincarnated into the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing the universe in their new bodies and in search for the ultimate spiritual transcendence.
Samsara depicts an apocalyptical story in the near future where human greed has depleted the earth’s resource. Catastrophic wars to fight for resource resulted in global destruction. Finally, the remaining humans had to leave the Earth and go on a search in space for a new place to live.
Nevertheless, their desperate, long quest for a new homeland… could it be just a loop in space and time? The cycle of greedy domination and total destruction that then necessitates the search for a new home…. may have hopelessly repeated itself over and over again? The constant evolutionary process and so-called progress, without transformation in consciousness and spiritual advancement, is nothing more than a Möbius strip that leads nowhere, perhaps…?
Samsara is an experiment based on the theory of Embodied Cognition. Through interactivity and VR, the audience gets to live inside the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing their feelings from within. Perhaps It is when we can perceive the world in different bodies that we may truly appreciate the thoughts of others and empathize with them. An experience that will also help us better comprehend our own existence and learn to live in harmony with all.
Samsara explores a complex of deeply interconnected issues of ecology, technology, natural resource and war, etc. It's a story about a journey humans are forced to take on, after having destroyed the earth with nuclear disasters. The survivors seek a new planet, in the boundless, interstellar space, to carry on their lives. Gradually they evolve into a new life form artificially. Yet, many years passed and they’ve come to realize that they would never make it to the new planet they’ve been dreaming of. In fact, they have simply been returning to the Earth, in different life forms, time after time.
Director Huang applies the concepts of embodied cognition, offering a unique way to contemplate about the nature of life. As the audience are transported into different bodies each time, they gain a brand new perspective to experience the world views presented in Samsara.
Samsara was produced under the guidance of Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and Kaohsiung Film Archive VR(VR FILM LAB), it’s a sate-of-the-art VR production made 100% in Taiwan. In the VR experience, viewers are transformed into various kinds of animals to interact with the scenes, including species unique and indigenous to Taiwan, such as Taiwan Blue Magpie and Formosan Black Bear.
Samsara Ep.1 features the latest somatosensory technology, including 4D views shooting techniques by the Industrial Technology Research Institute and TAICCA. A digital shooting system comprised of a high-sensitivity 4 million-pixel, full-color CCD sensor and 48 4DV-EX-Z cameras made it possible for Samsara Ep.1 to be taken from an omnidirectional view and shot without any blind spots, creating the ultimate immersive experience.
THE STARRY SAND BEACH, directed by Hsin-Chien Huang and produced in cooperation with Lucid Reality (France) and Oready 瑞意創科 Oready Innovation Lab (Taiwan), is a scientific fairy tale about a unique ecological wonder in Taiwan and Japan, the shiny starry sand beaches. Foraminifera, from the Latin word “foramen” meaning hole, is a single-celled organism that builds a shell with multiple chambers which intercommunicate with one another through holes. On the Qimei Island, Taiwan and the Yaeyama Islands, Japan, beaches have been formed by a specific species of foraminifera with star-shaped shells made of calcium carbonate. Like the real stars in the legends, grains of the starry sand have also been preserving the earth’s memories for millions of years.
THE STARRY SAND BEACH is a real-time 3D interactive VR adventure into the natural and mythological landscape of the starry sand beaches on Qimei Island in Penghu Archipelago, Xing Sha Wan in Kenting National Park and Taketomi Island in the far south of Japan. The experience is full of aesthetically-amazing elements and enriched with cultural and religious significance like Shintoism in Japan. A beautiful, haunting legend tells the story of the starry sand…
The final winners will be presented at the award ceremony held on Sep11. With great anticipation and hopes, Hsin-Chien Huang is expected to bring home again the grand prize for Taiwan!

fascinating meaning 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的最讚貼文
In 2017, astronomers in Maui spotted a mysterious object moving very fast around the sun. They observed it for two months before it disappeared out of sight. They think it came from another star far far away, outside the solar system. So they gave it a poetic Hawaiian name, ‘Oumuamua’, meaning messenger. Some even speculate it might be alien technology!
The likely truth is just as fascinating. A new theory proposes that Oumuamua is a piece of frozen nitrogen ice, originally from an exoplanet in orbit around its star, much like Pluto orbits our sun. A collision of planets ejected this chunk of the exoplanet out of its original solar system. It then spent the last half a billion years or so travelling through space, until it happened to visit our solar system and be spotted by earthlings in 2017.
Isn’t it amazing that from brief observations of a tiny fuzzy blob in telescopes, scientists can work backwards and deduce all these details? Science is fun. :) – LHL

HARI GELANDANGAN SEDUNIA
Hari ini merupakan Hari Gelandangan Sedunia. Komuniti gelandangan sentiasa dekat dihati saya memandangkan saya telah bekerja dengan komuniti ini selama hampir 4 tahun. Saya telah berjumpa dengan banyak orang dari pelbagai latar belakang dan mendengar berbagai kisah hidup mereka. Pengalaman ini banyak mengajar saya erti hidup dan mengubah perskpektif saya secara peribadi.
Saya pernah mendengar kisah penderaan fizikal, lisan dan emosi, terutamanya daripada kaum wanita. Komuniti gelandangan datang dari pelbagai latar belakang, jantina, kaum, agama, orientasi seksual dan setiap daripada mereka mempunyai cerita mereka yang tersendiri. Cerita yang acap kali saya dengar adalah bagaimana mereka mempunyai keadaan keluarga yang sukar sewaktu membesar dan situasi ini menyumbang kepada pelbagai masalah dalam kehidupan mereka.
Dalam situasi pandemik Covid-19, komuniti gelandangan telah banyak terkesan. Beribu gelandangan telah ditempatkan di tempat perlindungan sementara sewaktu sewaktu pandemik ini. Sekarang, banyak gelandangan telah kembali ke jalanan dan berada dalam situasi yang sukar.
Rakyat Malaysia telah datang bersatu padu melakukan yang terbaik untuk membantu komuniti ini. Antara kisah yang menarik adalah bagaimana syarikat Uniqlo Malaysia telah membantu golongan gelandangan untuk mengubah hidup mereka. Tujuan bantuan ini adalah untuk membantu mereka mengubah hidup dengan mempunyai pakaian baru sewaktu mencari pekerjaan. Pihak kerajaan negeri Johor pula telah membantu dengan membantu 1000 gelandangan mencari peluang pekerjaan.
Gambar dibawah adalah daripada Chow Kit Kids Project beberapa tahun lalu. Saya berharap semuanya kembali normal dan saya dapat kembali untuk berkhidmat untuk komuniti ini.

WORLD HOMELESS DAY
Today is World Homeless Day! Homeless community has always been very close to my heart since I've started working with this community since almost 4 years ago. Along the years, I have met with a lot of people; each with different stories to tell. Engaging with this community has truly taught me to look at life and its meaning from another set of lenses and perspective.
I've heard stories of terrible physical, verbal, and emotional abuse; especially from women. Homeless community consists of people from different walks of life regardless of one's gender, race, sexual orientation as well as religion. Most of them however, have had very difficult family situations when they were growing up. This issue subsequently has contributed to problems throughout their lives until they unfortunately ended up in the homeless community.
Needless to say, during this pandemic, homeless community in Malaysia is part of the communities which has been affected the most. Fortunately, steps were taken and they were housed in temporary shelters during Malaysia's COVID-19 lockdown. Now though, many of them have returned to the streets and are now living from hand-to-mouth. We as Malaysians have come together to help this community before and I believe this effort would continue onwards.
One of fascinating stories I've read is how Uniqlo Malaysia gave free clothes to the community. The aim of the clothing program was to encourage those suffering on the streets to turn over a new leaf. Having fresh new clothes will help them to look more presentable when they go out to search for new job opportunities. Another amazing effort is an initiative by Johor state government to help 1,000 homeless people in securing jobs.
The pictures below are snippets from the time when I was working on Chow Kit Kid Projects! I hope everything is going back to normal and I would be able to go back to serve this community.

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
うらぶれたシグナル 無暗に光らせ
果てない迷路 進んだってどうせ
a 9 days wonder 絡まった旋律
解かぬままリピートしたら いつまでも 疼いて痛い
満ち足りない
変わりはしない? この世界
心したいようにして 吠える勇気は 微塵もないくせに
愛されたい
すがろうとしてるの? もういいって
澱んでくだけの思いこそ解けば
夜を撃つ サイレン 夢想への SOS
全部 朽ち果てていいから
透き通った一瞬を 呼び覚ましてよ
ねえ ここから Ash flame 宿して抗え
どんな無様でも手を伸ばせ
苦い笑みも ひび割れたくらいじゃ 壊れやしない
ぐしゃぐしゃ 丸めて心を 捨てようとして
的外れのまま 耐えるのには長すぎる滑走路
託されたい 変えようとしてるよ どうしたって
だからお願い あのフレイズを繋いでみせて
ぼやけたシグナル 両手にあつめて
急かすように 紡ぎだしたストーリー
a 9 days wonder 真夜中の不文律
ひとつも置いていかないよ いつまでも 抱いていよう
夜を穿つ サイレン 瞬くは SOS
どんなに 汚れ 削られても
夢という怪物は 美しいんだよ
何度でも Ash flame 宿して刃向かおう
誰に追われても構わない
過ぎし日の cloud nine 宿命果たすまで 絶やさないよ
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
落下深淵的破舊信號燈,僅是毫無意義與規律地閃爍著
心中不存在終點的迷宮,無論如何前進也無法改變
僅需曇花一現般的短暫,便能呈現內心糾纏成結的雜亂旋律
若不解開而任其肆意反覆迴響——便將深藏心頭隱隱作痛
「還不滿足嗎?」
「難道連一點變化都沒有嗎?這無趣的世界。」
內心故作在意一般,卻連一絲回過頭喊叫的勇氣都沒有
「我僅是渴望被愛。」
「現在還在乞求能夠被拯救嗎?差不多夠了吧?」
若能將陷至水底深淵的思緒解開的話——
在這夜晚響徹的鳴笛,將劃破夜空為夢想呼救
哪怕一切早已腐朽枯涸也無妨
在萬物沉寂,而能聽見聲音的那一瞬喚醒我吧
聽我說,就從現在起,哪怕此身由焰火餘燼所成,仍不畏抵抗
即便那是多麼不堪入目的模樣,只要伸出手——
就算僅能迎來苦澀的強顏歡笑,也不會只因些許裂痕而盡數毀壞消逝
想將蜷曲成團、早已碎裂崩壞的內心捨棄擲出
卻難以擲中目標,看來膽怯而緩和衝擊的跑道仍太過冗長
希望能受到託付,故仍試著改變紊亂的心,難道不行嗎?
所以,就拜託你了,請將那纏繞我心的旋律一同繫起
早已模糊不清的老舊信號燈,就用這雙手收集四溢的光芒吧
如此朦朧,彷彿受催促而編撰出的故事般破碎
曇花一現般消逝,於午夜的月光下不成文形
哪怕早已四散,我也不會拋下任何事物離去。不論何時,我都會緊抱所有
在這夜晚響徹的鳴笛,將轉瞬穿過夜空呼救
不論染上多少汙穢、不論被剝奪了多少
曾名為「夢想」的怪物,仍是如此令人著迷
我將不斷地化作焰火餘燼,緊握利刃奮力前行
即便遭遇他人追趕阻卻也無妨
為了重拾逝去的欣喜過往,在抵至命運終點之前,我永不停歇
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
The falling shabby signal recklessly sparkles.
There's no meaning keep walking in this endless maze.
A 9 days' wonder with tangled rhythm.
If you don't untie it and just let it repeatedly playing, you only receive more pain in the end.
Not satisfied.
"Still no changes in this world, huh?"
As if keeping in mind, yet I don't possess any courage to yell it out loud.
I want to be loved.
"Still begging for help? It's enough."
If I can release all those emotions precipitating like dregs in the deepwater...
The siren that blasts through the night is the SOS sent from a dream.
I don't mind if it has already died in obscurity.
Call and wake me the moment when everything is clear.
Hey, I'll resist like the ash flame existing in my body from now on.
No matter how clumsy I may look like, I'll reach out my hand.
Even if the result is a bitter laugh, it won't break just by some cracks.
I have thrown this twisted, broken heart away.
Yet I can't hit my aim, the runway that endures impact seems to be too long.
I want to be reliable; I want to change no matter what. What's wrong with that?
So please, help me connect with that phrase.
The fuzzy signal I collected with my hand.
It's obscure as if the story that fabricated abruptly.
A 9 days' wonder with midnight's unwritten law.
I won't leave anything behind; I'll hold them forever.
The siren that pierces through the night is the instant SOS.
I don't care how much it has been tainted or deprived.
The monster called "dream" is fascinating.
I'll move forward with the knife like the ash flame existing in my body, again and again.
I don't care who tries to chase and stop me.
I won't let the flame die until I fulfill my fate and regain those bygone days of cloud nine.

Azabujuban in Tokyo has many local street shops that sell Japanese sweets, Japanese bread and Japanese snacks :)
A lot of these local shops that sell Japanese sweets have been running for over 100 years and are popular with the locals due to their originality.
A cool fact about Azabujuban is that the anime, Sailor moon was mostly based off this area as the writer lived in the Azabujuban area :D
There are a lot of places in Tokyo to get Japanese sweets, bread and snacks but I find areas like the Azabujuban area much more fascinating because of the history of the long running shops.
When you talk to the shop owners, you can tell they don't purely do the business just for the money. Rather, it's the deep meaning behind the shops history and the relationship they have with the local community.
I had a fun time trying all sorts of Japanese sweets and exploring the area with my lovely friends from the "Life Where I'm From" channel - See more of Greg, Aiko and Shin here :D
