More About Space Paradox Conceptual Video

Space Paradox is a conceptual video about the nature and limits of space. The film uses three world forms as its background: the spatial world of entities, the multidimensional world of fractals, and the world of logic and human consciousness. The transformation and overlap of the three forms present a dialectic between entity and vacuum, space and consciousness. The starting point is the question of the edge of space raised by Archytas, together with theories of potential and real infinity. Space Paradox also includes a creative expression of space graphics.

Award Record

With this recognition, Lu Zhao is a winner of 7 A' Design Awards. All of the awards belong to the 2020 - 2021 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The film takes three "world" forms as the background, namely, the spatial world of entity, the multidimensional world of fractal, and the world of logic (human consciousness). The transformation and overlapping of the three world forms is a dialectical statement of entity and vacuum, space and consciousness, that is, "is there a vacuum in the entity world, or is the entity world surrounded by vacuum", "Is space enveloping consciousness, or does space exist in consciousness".
Inspiration
"Whether there is an outermost boundary in space, and whether we can extend our hand over it." The work starts from the problem of "the edge of space" proposed by Archytas. The whole work is based on the space theory of potential infinity and real infinity by relativists and absolutists. It is a reflection on the boundary, extension and existence of space. The work includes two parts: conceptual video design and creative expression of space graphics.
