Overview

Odyssey 2020 is a public installation designed for Strawberry Music Festival hosted by ModernSky (leading record label in China), as a submission to YoungBlood (ModernSky’s open call to inspire new voices and creativity). Odyssey 2020 is the winner of People’s Choice Award Installation in MVM Installation Art Competition 2020.

The main body of the installation is a single-person spaceship that provides an interactive photobooth experience. The exterior is inspired by Modernsky's M-shape, and the interior is a narrow double-layered soundproof space, ensuring an immersive sound experience in the context of the music festival. Visitors can take social media pictures with the spaceship’s exterior, then enter the interior of the spaceship to start a space journey that’s mainly directed by sound.

Concept

The night is long till the dawn // Understand loneliness first, in order to understand the pulse of encountering.

There are three parts to the space journey. Visitors will first experience a solo lonely trip resembling the feeling of wandering around all by yourself in the vastness of space. However, then visitors will encounter IMO characters and join a space party, and will be directed to take a photo to commemorate the experience before leaving.
