The Embassy of Aliens: Intrapersonal Diplomacy and the Sounds of Inner Aliens

To the point

Hung Lu Chan's embassy of aliens reimagines contact as inward diplomacy where aliens are projections of our own fears and hopes, expressed through a brainwave‑driven musical instrument called sounds of aliens and guided by an ambassador, so people converse with their inner alien, challenge stereotypes, and imagine diverse futures that begin inside the self rather than with real extraterrestrials.

Hung Lu Chan's 2021 graduation project, the embassy of aliens, reframes extraterrestrials as projections of human experience and champions intrapersonal diplomacy through 'sounds of aliens,' an interactive musical instrument that translates imagined alien cues from brainwave data into real-time music guided by an ambassador, inviting speculative futures, embracing uncertainty, and expanding notions of contact, belonging, and collaboration across imagined and real worlds.
