SYMBIOSIS: a painting becomes a place

What happens when a painting does not simply hang in a room, but shapes the room itself?

SYMBIOSIS is the first spatial encounter in The Unframed, by Weidu Fanling. Approach a work in the distance, discover how its colours and markings shape the environment, then step beyond its surface. Leave a gesture and watch both room and artwork respond. Keep a complete encounter to revisit offline, or simply spend a moment there.

This is a free public preview. No account, payment or headset is needed. Sound starts off. Still navigation is available. It needs a browser with WebGL; some devices may show the source painting instead of the interactive room.

There is a Feedback button inside. Did the painting and its room feel like one work? Where did you get stuck, feel uncomfortable or lose interest? Would you return?

Honest criticism is welcome. The feedback option prepares a draft in your email app for you to review and send. Nothing is submitted automatically.
