introduction
Have you ever questioned the meaning of life?
In the digital age, the impact of pandemic, social media, the meta-universe, and information overload leaves more people feeling disorientated and meaningless, falling into the pessimism caused by the Nihility.
‘Nihiland’ is an immersive digital project that explores the concept of Nihility through minimalist design and interactive narrative. Inspired by quantum physics and mystical theories such as the Zero Point Field Theory and the Akashic Records, which suggest a dimension of information that transcends physical boundaries.
Nihiland is a connection between philosophy and daily life, providing a visually engaging space that helps Young Nihilists to think, meditate, and walk out of the room to embrace life.
