The Essence of Serendipity
This interactive installation uses a three-sided display and hypersonic effects to express the essence of meeting face to face.
In this era, AI prediction is increasingly accurate. Every experience is becoming personalized. We conduct daily work and life online. We encounter things we’ve never seen, also online. This is no longer distant fiction.
Business card exchanges born from serendipity, and leading to innovation, form a network. The network is a microcosm of face-to-face encounters. Among them are encounters AI could not predict. In these, something special exists between those who connected.
This installation extracts those encounters AI could not predict. It inspires imagination of that something special, revealing the magical quality of innovation-generating encounters.
