This project uses a **VR globe** as its interactive medium, centered on the core proposition of "the constructed nature of truth". It breaks the rigid narratives of historical architecture, transforming players from passive observers into **active narrative co-creators**.

Inspired by the organic forms of Kowloon Walled City and the Colosseum, the work deconstructs landmarks into modules of form, symbolism, and function to build a dynamic interactive system. Through gestures, gaze, and choices, players shape architectural meaning; the system collects real-time individual and collective data, generating forms guided by consensus. Every interaction becomes a unique dialogue with civilization.

Visually, crystalline, porous, and fluid materials form a metaphorical loop, embodying the idea that "truth is not discovered, but collectively constructed". This interactive art invites reflection on authoritative narratives, blending critical inquiry with exploratory spirit.
