installation 《A Place Called You》 by the interdisciplinary art group FUTUREDAYS from November 12 to
December 27.
This exhibition presents the latest work in
FUTUREDAYS’ newly developed immersive intermedia opera format: a
three-dimensional interactive VR piece experienced through the virtual reality
headset Meta Quest 3. The “AI opera” proposed by FUTUREDAYS positions AI as the
central performer and the audience as co-narrators of emotion and active
participants of perception, offering a new artistic experience where sensation
and technology converge.

FUTUREDAYS’s A Place Called You (2024) ©PIBI GalleryThe exhibition work A Place Called
You (2024) was created based on HER, part of
FUTUREDAYS’ metaverse opera series ‘The Day I Chose to Be Me – ME, YOU, HIM,
HER.’ Departing from the audiovisual-centered narratives of traditional opera,
the piece is designed to focus on auditory immersion and emotional flow.
The work is implemented in a real-time 3D
environment built on Unity and offers a unique sensory experience by combining
spatial audio rendered through binaural technology, the voices of generative AI
performers, and gesture, gaze, and voice recognition technologies. This complex
structure clearly embodies FUTUREDAYS’ vision: “Where XR, AI, and Art Meets the
Future.”
