The piece inverting the image concept of VR. The artist captures the images of the news media, reverses the technology of operating the images, greatly reduces and destroys the image pixels to forms distorted image frames, and repeatedly stacks the frames and redraws the outline of the image to create an illusory and beautiful picture. With a sarcastic attitude that artist brings real concepts from the technological realm to the social realm. He try to explore the reality created by today's social media from gorgeous but illusory images, and ask a question: Is it possible that the glory of the world is created by reducing authenticity?

藝術家試圖從當代的視角，反思世界構成的條件，翻轉VR的影像概念，藝術家擷取新聞媒體的影像，反向操作影像的技術，大幅降低與損毀影像畫素，形成失真的影格，並反覆堆砌影格、重繪影像輪廓，製造虛幻綺麗的畫面，帶有諷刺的態度將真實的概念從科技領域帶往社會領域思考。從華麗卻虛幻的畫面，探討當今社會媒體所營造的現實狀態：世界的榮景有沒有可能，是透過降低真實性所營造而成的？
