– Interactive 360 video installation, 24-7 live streaming –

Hong Kong Escape Views, Interactive installation, 360 videos. High-Res video panoramas of Hong Kong reveal the unseen. It is no longer about density, verticality, finance and technology. At a time of global outbreak, places of seclusion are sought after. But what are people protecting themselves from? Promiscuity? Contamination? or surveillance? Even the most remote places can’t escape from the World panopticon.
