Shadow of Unknowing is an interactive, existential cosmic simulation and ode to darkness. It follows the cyclic journey of an Observer and Traveller through a black hole, as they are destroyed and reincarnated time and time again.

Viewers collectively complete a six-loop cycle over time by piloting the Traveller through an ever-shifting reality. They have the opportunity to enrich their understanding and perception of their environment by collecting fragments of knowledge periodically released by the black hole in the form of Chinese oracle bone symbols. As the Observer & Traveller confront the radiant void, their experience of reality increasingly diverges.

Inspired by the paradoxes of black holes, the cultural significance of darkness in East Asia and its increasing disappearance, this slow meditation on uncertainty considers how we confront the unknown - in a vast, unknowable universe and in the hidden parts of ourselves.
