#Congratulations! Director Hsin-Chien Huang's latest VR works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach, were nominated for the 78th Venice International Film Festival!
The 78th Venice International Film Festival (VIFF) announced the shortlisted nominees for the category of VR Film. Taiwanese new media artist, Distinguished Professor of NTNU, Hsin-Chien Huang, winner of the BEST VR Experience in 2017 with his work La Camera Insabbiata, will again contest for the Leone d’oro this year with two of his latest, sci-fi inspired works, Samsara and The Starry Sand Beach. While the Taiwanese athletes are striving for the Gold Medals at the Tokyo Olympics as we speak, director Hsin-Chien Huang dazzles the jury of VIFF with his visually-stunning and thought-provoking works — bringing cutting-edge Taiwanese VR films onto the international stage and letting world-wide audience sees Taiwan!
Before being selected for the 78th Venice International Film Festival, Samsara episode 1. has already grabbed the Jury Award at SXSW and Best VR Story at the Cannes XR Competition. This futuristic VR experience teleports the audience onto a journey that spans millions of years. Samsara is a Sanskrit word meaning “ the world ”. In Buddhism, it means what we perceive as the world is actually an endless cycle of karma (cause and effect), a cycle of life, death and rebirth in the six realms of existence. In this fascinating VR work, the audience is reincarnated into the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing the universe in their new bodies and in search for the ultimate spiritual transcendence.
Samsara depicts an apocalyptical story in the near future where human greed has depleted the earth’s resource. Catastrophic wars to fight for resource resulted in global destruction. Finally, the remaining humans had to leave the Earth and go on a search in space for a new place to live.
Nevertheless, their desperate, long quest for a new homeland… could it be just a loop in space and time? The cycle of greedy domination and total destruction that then necessitates the search for a new home…. may have hopelessly repeated itself over and over again? The constant evolutionary process and so-called progress, without transformation in consciousness and spiritual advancement, is nothing more than a Möbius strip that leads nowhere, perhaps…?
Samsara is an experiment based on the theory of Embodied Cognition. Through interactivity and VR, the audience gets to live inside the bodies of different persons and creatures, experiencing their feelings from within. Perhaps It is when we can perceive the world in different bodies that we may truly appreciate the thoughts of others and empathize with them. An experience that will also help us better comprehend our own existence and learn to live in harmony with all.
Samsara explores a complex of deeply interconnected issues of ecology, technology, natural resource and war, etc. It's a story about a journey humans are forced to take on, after having destroyed the earth with nuclear disasters. The survivors seek a new planet, in the boundless, interstellar space, to carry on their lives. Gradually they evolve into a new life form artificially. Yet, many years passed and they’ve come to realize that they would never make it to the new planet they’ve been dreaming of. In fact, they have simply been returning to the Earth, in different life forms, time after time.
Director Huang applies the concepts of embodied cognition, offering a unique way to contemplate about the nature of life. As the audience are transported into different bodies each time, they gain a brand new perspective to experience the world views presented in Samsara.
Samsara was produced under the guidance of Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and Kaohsiung Film Archive VR(VR FILM LAB), it’s a sate-of-the-art VR production made 100% in Taiwan. In the VR experience, viewers are transformed into various kinds of animals to interact with the scenes, including species unique and indigenous to Taiwan, such as Taiwan Blue Magpie and Formosan Black Bear.
Samsara Ep.1 features the latest somatosensory technology, including 4D views shooting techniques by the Industrial Technology Research Institute and TAICCA. A digital shooting system comprised of a high-sensitivity 4 million-pixel, full-color CCD sensor and 48 4DV-EX-Z cameras made it possible for Samsara Ep.1 to be taken from an omnidirectional view and shot without any blind spots, creating the ultimate immersive experience.
THE STARRY SAND BEACH, directed by Hsin-Chien Huang and produced in cooperation with Lucid Reality (France) and Oready 瑞意創科 Oready Innovation Lab (Taiwan), is a scientific fairy tale about a unique ecological wonder in Taiwan and Japan, the shiny starry sand beaches. Foraminifera, from the Latin word “foramen” meaning hole, is a single-celled organism that builds a shell with multiple chambers which intercommunicate with one another through holes. On the Qimei Island, Taiwan and the Yaeyama Islands, Japan, beaches have been formed by a specific species of foraminifera with star-shaped shells made of calcium carbonate. Like the real stars in the legends, grains of the starry sand have also been preserving the earth’s memories for millions of years.
THE STARRY SAND BEACH is a real-time 3D interactive VR adventure into the natural and mythological landscape of the starry sand beaches on Qimei Island in Penghu Archipelago, Xing Sha Wan in Kenting National Park and Taketomi Island in the far south of Japan. The experience is full of aesthetically-amazing elements and enriched with cultural and religious significance like Shintoism in Japan. A beautiful, haunting legend tells the story of the starry sand…
The final winners will be presented at the award ceremony held on Sep11. With great anticipation and hopes, Hsin-Chien Huang is expected to bring home again the grand prize for Taiwan!

⭐️A journal to more focus, meaning and clarity in 2021⭐️��2020 has not been easy to navigate for many of us.��As an artist by nature, trying to stay focused and consistent on all the ideas and thoughts that I’m churning out has never been easy.
During the past few years, after getting frustrated with myself over and over again, I have put in a lot of time and effort to study and develop a system of goal-setting, action mapping and routine building - specifically for people who have problems focusing and prioritising.
By creating this wellness journal, I hope that I can inspire and prompt you to slow down, re-navigate and reset within. As a restful of having gone through complicated/extensive goal setting journal sand given up very shortly, I have intentionally kept this journal uncomplicated and physically light, so we don’t lose focus and can always easily carry it around or come back to review it.��Our wellness journal 2021 consists of:
* for women and creative entrepreneurs who want to realise their goals more effectively
* For people who are seeking more joy and a better balance in life
* NOT for people who are seasoned planners and enjoy more complicated systems and extensive daily/quarterly tracking structures
* Simplified system of goal setting for people who easily lose focus
* Physically light to carry around and review regularly (reviewing goals regularly is very important!! I will explain more as we journey and work on this journal together in the coming months)
* Packed with beautiful images and inspiration quotes, with the 2nd half of the journal being clean lined notepapers for your own journalling and doodling (as Richard Branson says, it’s very important to carry a notebook around with you to write all your thoughts and ideas down in a timely manner)
�All proceeds will be donated to a charity of our choice.

👉 Our 3 MINDS: Conscious, Subconscious, Unconscious that make us who we are.
🔸 Your CONSCIOUS MIND is a bit like the CAPTAIN of a ship standing on the bridge giving out orders. In reality it’s the crew in the engine room below deck (the subconscious and the deeper unconscious) that carry out the orders.
The captain may be in charge of the ship and give the orders but its the crew that actually guides the ship, all according to what training they had been given over the years to best do so.
The conscious mind communicates to the outside world and the inner self through speech, pictures, writing, physical movement, and thought.
🔸 The SUBCONSCIOUS MIND , on the other hand, is in charge of our recent memories, and is in continuous contact with the resources of the unconscious mind.
🔸The UNCONSCIOUS MIND is the STOREHOUSE of all memories and past experiences, both those that have been repressed through trauma and those that have simply been consciously forgotten and no longer important to us. It’s from THESE memories and experiences that our beliefs, habits, and behaviors are formed.
The unconscious constantly communicates with the conscious mind via our subconscious, and is what provides us with the MEANING to all our interactions with the WORLD, as filtered through your beliefs and habits. It communicates through feelings, emotions, imagination, sensations, and dreams.

「添丁發財」這四個漢字,是中華民族非常喜愛的。多用在祝賀新婚夫婦。不過吾相信,就算是非中華民族,祇要她他知曉,這四個漢字的意識,同樣會欣然接受。那爲什麼這四個漢字,如此廣受大眾接納呢?因爲,小朋友乃夫妻婚後,家庭喜樂、接代的生力軍。有了這些生力軍,夫妻對未來著實有了展望。尤其是男性,自然會增加其奮鬥力。再者,所謂妻、財、子、祿,娶了老婆,財跟著來。有了小朋友,祿位亦隨之。
懂得玄學的人皆知,爲何新婚夫婦,必需在狀邊裝置兩盞燈。這是一種風水,是加持新婚夫婦早生貴子,亦是添丁也。孩子是福氣的一種象徵,沒啥福氣的,還真生不出來呢!當然,也別因爲這原因,就拼命的生(一笑)。要知道,一個人要養幾個口,也真需要更厚的福氣啊!不過,在夫妻「享受」時,不小心又製造了新生命,一定要把她他生下來,千萬勿將她他給墮掉,這不簡單是福氣的大折,更是妳你未來慘痛、悲痛的果報。切記!切記!
添丁也屬於一種旺氣。生人住的地方,就叫著陽宅。死人住的地方,就叫著陰宅。因此,一個家庭有小朋友來報到,家中自然就增添一股生旺之氣,這生旺之氣,會將家中的煞氣給排出。這也就是爲什麼我們會聽到,誰呀誰家中有了小朋友、昇職加薪、中樂透獎等等。另一個說法是之前吾提到,有孩子本是一種福氣,且孩子也是一種水氣。而水氣在風水裡,是個靈魂人物。因水至財,正如魚不能須臾離水,人不能須臾離財是也。
吾,玳瑚師父,並不是昨日剛出道的。在一個成年人歲數的歲月裡,吾會用堪虞術,幫助人們圓子夢。在風水上,絕對可以查知,爲何結婚多年,小朋友遲遲未來報到。若欲想有子女的夫妻,且莫購買缺東與東南角的屋子,因那是難有子女的屋相。倘若已買了,妳你就非得來找吾不可。吾這樣說是因爲,吾懂得將這種無子女相的屋子,轉爲有子女相的屋子。如果妳你認識懂得化解這種屋相的師父,妳你當然可以去找她他,不一定要找吾啦!添丁發財,是含有風水知識的吉祥祝語。

The four Han characters 「添丁發財」 are very much adored by the Chinese. They are mainly used to wish newly weds. But I believe that if a non-Chinese understands the meaning behind these four Han characters, he or she will also gladly accept them. Why are these 4 Han characters so well-accepted by the masses? Because after a couple married, children are the new forces of joy who carry on the family line. With these new troops, the couple will have a firm vision for their future, especially for the man, whose fighting spirit will naturally intensify. Moreover, according to the phrase "Wife, Wealth, Descendants, Status", after marrying a wife, wealth will follow along. And after having children, status will come along too.
People who understand Chinese Metaphysics will definitely know why a newly-wed couple must install two table lamps on the sides of their bed. This is a Feng Shui technique, to bless the couple with a noble son soon, i.e. to add a son to the family. A child is a symbol of good fortune. Those with little fortune will find it difficult to conceive. Of course, please do not over-do it because of this reason! You must know, for one person to feed more mouths indeed require greater fortune! However, should an "accident" happen between a couple, and a life is conceived, you must give birth to the child. You must never abort the foetus. Not only will abortion greatly deplete your fortune, it will also be the cause of your future pain and sorrowful misery! Please remember!
Having a newborn is a form of auspicious energy. A place where living humans reside is called a Yang House whereas a Yin House is one where the dead rest. Hence, when a newborn comes knocking, there will naturally be this flourishing energy of growth. This growth and flourishing energy will drive the baleful energies out of the house. This is why we often hear of incidents where someone struck lottery, or got promoted and a raise at work because of a newborn at home. Another viewpoint is one I have mentioned previously, that having a child is a symbol of good fortune, and children is a form of water energies. And the water energy in Feng Shui plays a critical role. Because the water energy brings wealth, just like fish cannot be away from water, Man cannot survive without Wealth.
I, Master Dai Hu, did not just start out yesterday. In the time as long as the age of a young adult, I have used Feng Shui techniques to fulfil the children dream of many people. In Feng Shui, one can absolutely ascertain why a couple remains childless after many years of marriage. For couples wishing to have a child, do not buy a house that is lacking the East and South-East sectors as that kind of house represents a "childless" home. If you have already bought such a house, you must come look for me. I say it so because I know how to transform a "childless" home to one with children. If you know a master who has such an ability, of course, you can engage his/her service, not necessarily me! The Chinese phrase 「添丁發財」 is a well-wishing phrase steeped in Feng Shui knowledge.
