"Toward Entropy 360" is an immersive 360° film experience that invites audiences to step into a 360° world where land art’s monumental gestures meet the quiet persistence of nature. This work reimagines historically significant earthworks, not as static monuments, but as evolving, fragile ecologies shaped by time, weather, and memory. Plants reclaim the ground, water rises, and familiar forms dissolve, questioning the permanence of human ambition. At once poetic and critical, the project examines how culture and environment intersect—how art inscribes itself on the land, and how the land, in turn, writes back. By reframing entropy not as loss but as a generative process, the 360 video opens a space for reflection on art, history, and environmental ethics in a world increasingly defined by change.
