You can take a look inside Scope.
You can look an amazing sight.
Am I moving?
OR
Is the world moving?

This is the video installation on center of the bridge to compare between the virtual and real world.

In this work, I put a small TV in the telescope. Audience can look inside the scope. First impression for the Audience, the movie which is inside the scope is not difference from the outside real world. But soon, They realize the movie is not real world. So White lines are moving.

People often try to measure their distance and position in the world, for example, psychological distance between people and our social position. and this distance is ambiguous and unstable. Because nowadays, the world is changing quickly like a creature. Economy, New technology, Value of lifestyle.
Often, the thing which I believed will be able to changed in the future. If we believe same point today, but we will not be able to same point tomorrow.

Audience uses an eye to look inside, another eye is look outside. We can combine these images in our brain. To look both image which are virtual and real world, we understand our gap in the world more.
