0.5 in Limbo

This thesis explores 0.5 in Limbo, an immersive interactive installation that examines the transformation of self-perception and existence within a digital environment. This project creates an open interactive space where viewers, through their choices and participation, influence the evolution and archiving of virtual organisms. In this continuously evolving digital ecosystem, each action serves as both an experiment and a question, while each archived entity represents a reconstruction or documentation of reality. The work invites participants to navigate the tension between certainty and uncertainty, shaping their own interpretations. Inspired by my reliance on short-form video platforms during the pandemic, 0.5 in Limbo evolved into a reflection on collective digital survival. By sorting out the technical implementation, spatial construction, and interactive design of the project, this thesis explores the artistic reinterpretation of the laboratory and archiving. This process not only documents an artistic practice but also provides a new perspective on understanding the experience of existence in the digital age. Through reflections on the creative process, this thesis seeks to open a gap for thinking, where the digital laboratory is no longer just a means of expression but a way of understanding the world and an attempt to find possibilities within uncertainty.
