The Avatar of DorianGray#2196 is a two-channel video installation that delves into a contemporary reinterpretation of Oscar Wilde's iconic novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," exploring how the emergence of the Metaverse might transform our understanding of personal identity in both the physical and virtual realms.





The Avatar of Dorian Gray is an art project with a narrative based on the Picture of Dorian Gray that integrates both a virtual reality environment simulating the characteristics of the Metaverse and a physical installation that explores the relationship between digital and physical identities.
Our objective is to interpret The Picture of Dorian Gray in a Metaverse narrative setting. Screen A depicts the gradual drown into Metaverse, and Screen B indicates the transforming process of the Avatar Appearance.


                           Screen A(left) 
    - depicts the process of the protagonist who becomes increasingly ensnared in the allure of the infinite pleasure brought about by the Metaverse.  Screen B(right) 
    - it showcases the gradual corruption and grotesque transformation of the protagonist's avatar within the Metaverse.
