“Dreaming in a Mountain Village” is one of the works from the 2008 “Portraits of Somnambulists” series. Each portrait embodies a theatrical expression of *non-seeing, non-hearing, non-speaking, and non-acting*. This particular piece represents “non-seeing,” containing a metaphor drawn from the Daoist philosophy of *wuwei* (non-action) — specifically the concept of “closing one’s eyes and sealing speech” — to convey the transcendence required by contemporary society through human self-restraint and inner purification.

The Future of Humanity Experience explores how technology is reshaping the human experience by blending digital and physical artworks from global artists into a tangible vision of the future. The experience highlights the potential for human enhancement, where the organic and synthetic not only complement one another but sometimes merge, illustrating how humanity can transcend its current boundaries.

Through diverse artistic perspectives, the show critically examines the risks, ethical dilemmas, and challenges posed by technological progress. This exploration is framed through three distinct lenses – Animasapiens, Transhumans, and Starborns – and offers an invitation to delve even deeper. Learn more here.
