#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!

fairy tale meaning 在 開動with貓-奧地利生活札記-Kaidong With Kat Facebook 的精選貼文
『庫倫洛夫』是捷克被聯合國已列入世界文化遺產的迷人可愛小鎮!古老的建築就像住在童話村裡面。我們在這個小鎮裡小居了四天三夜,旅館乾淨舒服,每天有人打掃,費用兩人竟然這些天加起來150歐有找,而且附早餐&停車免費!真的是太划算了哩🤗房間附設靠著河岸的觀景陽台,很高興旅行前做了許多功課&到處查旅館互相比價!實在物超所值❤️
這次的旅程中發現貓老爸真好養,只要吃好、睡好、住好、他就一切心滿意足了。瞧,貓爸大悅也~開心!
Krumlov is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site since 1992. The name of this town is derived from the meaning "crooked meadow". It sounds really cute, and this fairy tale small town is indeed so lovely. We were living there for four days and enjoyed the various weather stuations such as sunny, rainy, snowy and windy. Very nice memories! #捷克 #庫倫洛夫 #旅遊日記 #開動with貓 #CzechRepublic #Krumlov #trip #KaidongWithKat

【玳瑚師父隨筆錄】 《風調雨順,國泰民安》
The Way To a Prosperous & Peaceful Nation with Favourable Weather
(English version below)
「風調雨順,國泰民安」這八個字,相信對一般人而言,絕對不會太陌生。聽是聽過,但妳你是否真實明白,這八個字箇中的道理及含義?又或者,妳你可會認真思維,其中含義及道理呢?要知道,真正的能人、真正的學者,她他必會或必定付出時間付出精力,做了一番研究與考驗後,得到了答案和結論,才對有關事項,給於定論。這樣才是名符其實的,能人及學者。
「國泰民安」,是指國家富強、安定繁榮,百姓人民豐衣足食、都有就業機會。這樣看似乎沒什麼不妥,可是又為何有前面那一句「風調雨順」呢?原來這說明了,人世間的一切,真的和宇宙大自然有關。不是嗎?大家靜下心來想想看,有四季的國家,與沒有四季的國家的分別。天災地禍多的國家,與天災地禍少的國家的分別。想啊想,妳你就會明白「風調雨順」是多麼的重要啊!
其實「風調雨順」不是一般人所知道的「風調」、「雨順」。祇有真正知其深意,並實在且非常努力的去修持,每一個國家,甚至全世界,才會有「風調雨順,國泰民安」的那麼一天的到來。要不然,這八個字祇是「天方夜譚」,不如將之拋出腦後。
風,即是體內的氣,外在的呼吸。雨即是體內的水份及養份。而水份及養份,都得靠氣來傳送及導引,到最後「氣定神閒」,自然能夠包容一切,國家及全世界,也就真的風調雨順,國泰民安了。
------------------------
The Chinese phrase of "風調雨順,國泰民安", literally translated as "Smooth Winds and Favourable Rains, Prosperous Nation and Peaceful Society" should be quite familiar to most people. You might have heard of this phrase many times but do you really understand the essence of it? Or have you ever pondered deeply about the deeper meaning of this phrase? You must know that a person with real ability and wisdom surely would have committed time and effort to investigate all possibilities before coming to a final conclusion. This is the true billing of a able and learned person.
"Prosperous Nation and Peaceful Society" refers to a strong and wealthy nation, peaceful and prosperous with her people well-clothed, well-fed and gainfully employed. There seems to be nothing wrong with the above, but why do we precede the phrase with this "Smooth Winds and Favourable Rains"? This goes to show that this material world is heavily linked to the Universe and natural phenomenons. Is it not so? Let us all be still and ponder over it. What is the difference between a country with four seasons and a country with no seasonal change? What is the difference between a country stricken with natural and man-made disasters and one who experiences very little or none at all. After much thinking, you would have realised that having "Smooth Winds and Favourable Rains" is so important!
In actual fact, the phrase "Smooth Winds and Favourable Rains" cannot be taken literally as really having smooth and favourable weather. The real essence lies in the true and diligent cultivation of every person, nation and even the whole world to truly realise the the day when the whole world will have "Smooth Winds and Favourable Rains". If we miss the point, it is nothing but just a far fetched fairy tale, best to be shelved at the back of your head.
The wind is represented by the Qi (life energy) inside your body, reflected in your breath. The rain is represented by the water and nutrients in your body. These water and nutrients rely heavily on the Qi in the body to move and guide their passage in your body, reaching a state of stillness and one-ness of the mind. In this state, you will naturally be able to tolerate and embrace everything, a country and the world. That would be totally aligned with the phrase "Smooth Winds and Favourable Rains, Prosperous Nation and Peaceful Society".
