Hypermorph Garden 4.0 Virtual Tour
Fuen Chin
Hypermorph Garden 4.0 Virtual Tour will take the audiences to overlook a massive piece of mangrove forest alongside the Merbok River and sneak into a doom tent to explore contents hidden in the mangrove. In the tent, a showcase of a series of paintings featuring flora, fauna and the historical remains at the mangrove forest in the Kedah state, Malaysia. The paintings also disclose my personal speculations about the histories and incidents embedded. The mangrove forest has splendid salt-tolerant trees that it plays an importance role in protecting oceans and coastal areas. It provides a buffer zone to protect shorelines and improves water quality. Through Hypermorph Garden 4.0 virtual tour, I aim to initiate a public awareness about: 1) the importance of mangrove forest to serve as vital habitats for marine life and carbon sinks , 2) to put an end to mangrove deforestation, 3) mangrove forests are highly efficient at absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change and to control sea-level rise. Hypermorph Garden 4.0 series has 15 pieces of mixed media paintings, which the content on each canvas is interconnected to each other, to elaborate a comprehensive scene around the mangrove forest. Each canvas is W122 x H152.5cm, the series has 15 pieces which they make the interconnected length to become 1,830cm. Hypermorph Garden 4.0 was exhibited inside a custom-made dome tent situated at the entrance of the mangrove forest reserve at Jetty Semeling, Kedah State in Malaysia. Diameter of the dome tent was 10meters. The hemispherical space of the tent created an immersive environment with impressive peripheral vision of the series.
