Artist Statement
The creative team of Streaming, a VR narrative interactive work, consists of six undergraduate students from the Digital Media Art program at Harbin Institute of Technology, Class of 2022. All members jointly developed the story and script in the early stages. During production, Jiang Ruiyi built the first scene, Shi Xiaohan constructed the second scene, Feng Miaoting handled the third and sixth scenes, Yu Siyan designed characters and animations, and Yin Baolin took charge of programming and technical implementation. In the final stage, Yin Baolin integrated the entire project, while all members completed their respective modules. The team employs VR's spatial presence to enhance immersive storytelling, blending Eastern futurism with traditional cultural elements to explore human-machine relationships and individual choice. After graduation, team members have pursued advanced studies at prestigious institutions: Feng Miaoting is currently enrolled in the MRes RCA program at the Royal College of Art, Yu Siyan is pursuing a Master's degree in Design at Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), and Shi Xiaohan is pursuing a Master's degree in Design at Harbin Institute of Technology.
Work Statement
This work is a VR narrative interactive experience, developed with the Pico 4 headset and the Unreal Engine 5. It has no fixed aspect ratio, featuring an immersive surround field of view; resolution follows the headset specifications (2160×2160 per eye). The runtime environment requires a Windows PC with a minimum configuration of Intel i7-8700, RTX 2060, and 16GB RAM, connected to the headset via streaming. Through spatial computing and real-time rendering, the work supports player gaze and controller interactions, integrating dynamic scenes and sound design to deliver a highly immersive narrative experience.
Streaming was presented in Mind × Body: Catalyst Phenomenon Archive, organised by the Reality Intelligence Association as part of London Design Festival 2026.
