Graduation project
The Embassy of Aliens
Hung-Lu Chan
Without any scientifically confirmed discoveries to go on, what aliens look like, and the often violent and exploitative behaviour and intentions that pop culture ascribes to them, are entirely products of our own imagination. Aliens come from inside ourselves. The Embassy of Aliens is a diplomacy initiative to develop and promote intragalactic tools through which develop a reimagining of aliens. The first tool to be launched is a musical instrument that facilitates communication between humans and their inner alien. The project hopes to challenge the way we think about the stereotypes, stigmas and borders we project onto others, societies and worlds.
