MANIFESTO

 

Spectacle means a special or attractive sight. In particular, it is the mirror that can be used in the real and virtual world. Nowadays, Spectacle is mostly showed by social media, people will find the truth when they access. Generally, the spectacle will use the unique way to make people attractive and help people to re-establish the perspectives.

​

Death is the natural rule for the organism. When they pass away in the world, the spirits will exist and eulogize eternally. Recently, due to the improvement of mental and physical aspects, the life quality is better than the past. However, most people lack the awareness of death because they think death is meaningless and feel frivolous to learn the backgrounds of death. Therefore, the spectacle can be the tool to make people interest and prompt them calmly to contemplate the inherent meanings. Contrarily, people will be the spectacle to find the truth in the virtual world, and they will immerse in their journey of exploration in order to realize the truth.

​

The ‘museum’ is one types of institution that preserves the spirit of dead things and display. It is the main strategy to help people to experience the real atmosphere and realize the implication of death. In addition, the ‘X-factor’ plays an important role to hybridise with the existing institution become the new institution type to provide a unique experience to audiences.

​

In my perspective, the ‘journey’ is the main element to impact museums to recover the real scenes. AR technology can be the special element which can collaborate with museum become a new institution. AR is convenient that the audience can take equipment with ‘AR’ to point to the specific space they intend. The effect of AR will be opposite to the real one, AR will pass through the past and emerge the different scenes in the same perspective as real. Overall, AR museum can provide the spectacle to people to explore the truth of death.
