La singularidad representa el punto crítico. Cuando nos acercamos a este punto crítico, se acerca un gran impacto en el mundo humano hasta que se convierta en el consenso de los seres humanos. Pero cuando finalmente llega, todavía puede ser sorprendente e inimaginable. Es como las propiedades físicas del agujero negro generado cuando la gravedad física se acerca al infinito y ya no está dentro del rango que el modelo normal puede predecir.
¿Cómo sentir la singularidad existente? No importa qué perspectiva tomemos, lo que solía ser familiar se está convirtiendo en algo extraño entre el peligro y la esperanza, entre la regresión y el progreso. El arte que nos expone a formas de vida y formas de experimentar nos es ajeno. La singularidad evoca un futuro desconocido que está en espera en el horizonte. Diferentes puntos de vista se mueven hacia trayectorias únicas que conducen al punto crítico: Paisajes finales.

Singularity represents the critical point. When we are approaching this critical point, it will bring a great impact on human world until it becomes the consensus of human beings. But when it finally comes, it may still be surprising and nimaginable. It is like the physical properties of the black hole generated when the physical gravity approaches infinity and it is no longer within the range that the normal model can predict. How to feel the existing singularity? No matter what perspective we take, what used to be familiar is becoming strangeness between peril and hope, between regression and progress. Art that exposes us to forms of life and ways of experiencing is foreign to us. Singularity evokes unknown future that is lying in wait on the horizon. Different viewpoints motion toward unique trajectories that are leading to the critical point - Endscapes.

1.In the fog- abandoned ciyi de Chih-Ming Fan, Taiwan/Germary, 2016, 7,34min
The Abandoned Ciyi, the artist creates a virtual and imaginary post-war like scene through a game engine system, which presents an abandoned territory after warfare, seen as an urban island forgotten by people. It appears quite barren, uninhabited and isolated.
2. Develop-movement n-1, de David Rogriguez Gimeno, Spain, 2011, 3.01min
Walking looking trying to build an image of a singular place (Antartica) that has more to do with us than with what we try to understand
​
3. Habitable zone, de Shu Isaka, Japón, 7.2min
The footage taken by CCTV was first agency that perceived an unusuality in an island. Some imaging devices are still showing images of the unusual incidents in the island. The investigators are headed for the island to make sure what it is. But they don’t know whether they would have speciality for these incidents.
In this footage, a real time rendering movie as CCTV is attached on a linear sequence as
story movie. It seems like the story is showing that investigators are approaching to their destination that the CCTV footage indicates, but they can never reach to the place.
4. Viva ilusión de Jude Anogwih, United States/ Nigeria, 2016, 12.52min
This is a story on water - a shimmering, flowing driver – that has fundamental impact on humanity.
It conveyed explorers and invading slave masters as well as merchants, colonial and missionary governments on its soft and yielding belly. In its fluid transboundary space, it harbors a verse state of secrets and realities as it flows, connects and reflects rippling dynamics of our being. Its path charts age long patterns of imprints - nurturing and withering civilizations.
It never forgets its past paths. Like mater and matrix, it brings healing and the crooked. Displaced populace looks further towards its luring veil envisioning signals of succor and new stories of life. Viva Illusion? is a part of an ongoing body of work that reflects on persisting frequencies of furtive journeys on global water spaces.
5. Anime armageddon de Urich Lau Wai-Yuen , Singapore, 2013, 1.12min
Images of typical tourist postcards of the Singapore city skyline are scanned as a video diptych with one in a dusk/dawn equivocal moment, the other being destroyed by cartoonish bombings and fires superimposed from Japanese anime. The video work illustrates paradoxical notions between fact and fantasy, anxiety and tranquility, and the cycle of creation, destruction to recreation of a new state of existence.
6. Flow de Teng Wen-Hsin, Taiwan, 2016, 3.31min
The work was inspired by the island of Taiwan. Wulai District in New Taipei City, Taiwan is known for its hot springs and mountain cherry blossoms. It is the most northern part of Taiwanese aboriginal mountain area. The extraction of a lot of groundwater resources destroyed the original ecology, shattering the beautiful Wulai. Through the travel and beautiful rhythm of a little water droplet, this work prompts viewers to think deeply and cherish beautiful natural resources.

7. Wuxi+çn de Iury Lech , Spain, 2018, 1.54min
Wuxi+çn, that in Chinese means unlimited or infinitely, is a immersive sensory exploration of the universal micro and macro waves, by means of dense audiovisual texture treatments, that brings alive an hypnotic and abstract way to conceive digital experimentalism.
