A CAVE CALLED INFINITY
According to Plato's cave theory, our sensible world is a large, artificially constructed cave, and humans are the
prisoners trapped in this cave. My experience in the game world also confirms the player's desire for the virtual
world, want to escape from the real world that people have constructed and to see the truth beyond the cave. But I found a problem: people are again trapped in their favourite virtual game worlds, which still run the logic of
the real world, so I think the game world is not a pure exit/utopia, but another 'cave' that reflects reality. I
experimented with photography and collage techniques to show this finding.
