Heat death describ a supreme chaotic disorder,a propose ultimate fate of universe. if we regard the universe as an independent closed system,them with the gradual increase of "entropy",energy. All material temperatures will reach thermal equilibrium,and all life in the universe will move toward the final decline. And this exihibition argues that all behaviors of civilization are a kind of resistance to chaos.

The exihibition took humans as a microcosm and presented the history of the demise of a civilized order in the distant future or other parallel time and space.








AREA 1-MADNESS From the macro perspective of civilization, war is an act of destroying the existing order through violence and establishing a new order. Until today, such a cycle continues. We can even say taht civilization is based on the order brought about by war. Does this show that order is destined to collapse and that war is an inevitable form of civilization that has evolved in response to this trend?



AREA 2-GRAVITYAs earth's resources are consumed , human civilization will evenyually seek a way to escape to exoplanets. However, as the availability of the remaining energy in the earth decreases, high-grade energy is destroyes and resources become difficult to enrich, and one day the earth's resources will not be able to accelerate any man-made object to second cosmic velocity.What kind of story will happen in such a critical era?



AREA 3-UTOPIAIn a highly orderly society, individuals are domesticated by the watablished order of society and lose their free will, but at the same time they also guarantee everyone's physical and mental health and work efficiency. This is an attempt to fight chaos. In such a society, everyoneis safe, no longer suspicious, and no longer complains."calm,fitter,healthier,and more productive, a pig."



AREA 4-PARANOIA In the process of the evolution of civilization, civilization will gradually abandon the flesh and live only in a virtual world. There is no restriction or constraint here.Any though is reasonable, and any imagination is allowed. In order to counter the material world that has gradually become chaotic, countless free spirits are here to perform in a crazy, bizarre fantasy world.





- AREA 5 -
HEAT DEATH
When the last madness of civilization is also transfomed into chaos,it is the end of everything. The universe eventually becomes a pot of boiling particle soup. Time still exists. but no more energy can sustain the birth of movement or life. There is only the infinite void.
