It is an endeavor that makes a poetic expression of the new media. We get inspiration from a breakthrough point of our thinking on different approaches to using media and technologies. We base on the sense of distance and distortion of existing 3D modeling to build a cold and alienating virtual world. Combining this sense of coldness and alienation, let unidentified characters wander in the virtual world and talking about their hometown tenderly. Through dialogue between virtual characters, monologues, and poems, our confusion about the world, the experience of large-scale migration based on globalization, and the thinking about information technology are presented one by one.
