'305 Valley'

A dystopian future vision shown as an interactive fiction experience, where the physical and virtual merge, and embodied virtual presence are determined by one’s social credit score.This project explores how the new technologies and social credit system affect people’s lives through a series of possible scenarios and issues of cohabitation in the mixed reality future.

It gives viewers the chance to experience what it feels like to be involuntarily subject to low social scoring through a full-body tour experience and everyday narratives.
