剛獲得屆威尼斯影展「最佳VR體驗」獎的陳芯宜，在這次展出VR360作品《留給未來的殘影》，以舞者周書毅飾演一名生命即將結束的男子，透過「生前記憶續存服務」於臨終前回返記憶的某些瞬刻，來召喚出觀眾全新體感世界。一個即將消失的生命，透過VR技術讓我們思考意識似乎可以被保留，但是那些逝去的和最後被留存的究竟是什麼？
Singing Chen who just won the "Best VR Experience" award at the Venice Film Festival, will present her VR360 work "Afterimage for Tomorrow", in which dancer Chou Shu-Yi plays a man whose life is about to end. A life that is about to disappear, through VR technology makes us think that consciousness can be preserved, but what are those that have passed away and those that are finally preserved?

男子醒來在某個意識層面，所見所聽所感的是記憶？夢境？虛擬實景？還是死前的意識回返？
「您正在使用『生前記憶續存服務』，您將可選擇三段記憶。在您生命終結時，本服務將刺激您的神經元使其顯影。記憶記載時間為一根火的時間……」，以眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意接收下來的記憶，儲存成文字、圖像、聲音、影像……。藉由記憶的碎片，我們得以回返某個特定的時間點，讓時空扭曲交疊，但記憶卻不一定可靠。導演陳芯宜與編舞家周書毅共同創作與演出，以舞蹈呈現記憶中難以言說的部分。我們現在製造的影像或記憶，在未來能留存多久？
A man wakes up in an unknown dimension of consciousness. What is it that he sees, hears and feels? Is it memory, virtual reality or terminal lucidity?
－Welcome to the “ Afterlife Memory Trust.” With us, you will be selecting three pieces of your memory to relive by the time you decease. When your life terminates, we will stimulate your neurons to bring out the designated memories. Each vision lasts a light time. －
We perceive the world through eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. These sensory is stored as memory in words, pictures, sounds and moving images. With fractions of the transcribed memories, we are capable of returning to a specific point in time, which is an act of distortion and overlaying of time and space. However, memories aren’t always reliable.
