Work1--Mushroom Hallucination--2025.03.23

Before coming to Korea, I lived in Yunnan Province of China for three years.

Wild mushrooms are harvested in large quantities in the summer.

It is usually fried or cooked in soup.

The local people think it's more delicious than meat.

But because most of the more popular wild mushrooms are toxic, they must be thoroughly cooked before they are safe to eat.

Every summer due to the wrong cooking method or ingestion of edible mushrooms into the hospital rescue.

Poison emergency centers in Yunnan Province receive the largest number of patients each year in the country, and there is a risk of death when poisoning is severe.

But even at this risk, people look forward to summer and eat the freshest wild mushrooms.

The hallucinogenic experience of eating wild mushrooms has also caught the attention of many people online.

People who have been poisoned find some common ground when they share their stories.

At the same time, they saw the light turn into something tangible like a thread that could be touched.

Saw elves and small animals dancing in the corner of the room.

I opened my eyes during a mild poisoning and saw the whole room spinning.

The ceiling is like melting ice cream.

I was reminded of these stories when I saw the image of reaching out and touching space distortion in a sample video during a class demonstration last week.

So I wanted to recreate the dazzling experience of mushrooms.

I used some glitch filters and RGB filters to manipulate the original photos to mimic the feeling of not seeing clearly after being poisoned.

And then use some colored lines and punctuation to restore the "touch of colored light."

If it is combined with the virtual image that is distorted but touched by the hand, it should be better able to restore the feeling at that time.
