Description: Web-VR poetry installation collaboration between Studio Dyan Jong, floorkids.studio, and Nick Gregg. Beyond Garden creates a space for healing, togetherness, and encounter, within the confines of a browser. The concept was led by a desire to create a digital Chinese garden, or "yuan," which are public spaces for visitors to contemplate the harmony of man and nature. As a visitor enters the mysterious, dune-like capsules throughout the landscape, they find themself immersed inside bi-lingual poems whispered and written by diasporic Chinese poets (JinJin Xu, Carlina Duan, Jiaoyang Li).
