| Sumario: | The article focuses on the immersive art installation "Don’t Worry, Baby" (2025) created by the Taiwanese art group Xindian Boys in collaboration with the new media group XTRUX. This site-specific projection at the New Taipei City Art Museum presents a digital doppelgänger of the Xindian River basin, utilizing algorithms and game engine technology to create a dynamic and interactive landscape that oscillates between idyllic and dystopian imagery. The installation invites viewers to reflect on the nature of reality and truth through its manipulation of actual environments and people, while also showcasing earlier works by Xindian Boys that explore the ecological and sociopolitical context of the river. A poignant element of the exhibition is the inclusion of archival footage featuring the late member Chen Shun-Chu, who continues to be represented in the virtual realm of the installation.
