Set in the year 2065, players start from a simulacrum of the physical exhibition space, gradually exploring a virtual island that is itself an architectural collage; each new iteration of the game incorporates the locations of its exhibition. The first manifestation at K11 Hong Kong (2018) included a simulation of the gallery space and digital exhibition. Later versions at the Barbican in London and at the Singapore Biennale reflected the post-colonial context of futurity; ‘2065’ refers to the centennial year of Singapore’s independence.
