Aliens’ Planet
The aliens are here.
This is a space in-between, a wormhole linking us and them.
They don’t speak what we speak, don’t eat what we eat, they live by the power of abstraction.
They survive by consuming emotions, drinking pools of thought, and breathing through threads of connection. We found them by chance on our walk back home, not so long after that, they settled down here.
As far as we know, they want to tell us something in exchange for something. Some of them do talk, they learnt English phrases when accessing information on our computers. Those phrases are sure to be important things they want to tell.
The Banana Painter, The Twins, The Monks, The Hidden, The Optimist, The Entertainer, The Outsider, and The Guard.
We followed their request to tell you guys that they want to meet you, they are quite shy so we will limit the amount of people in the space. If there are too many people, please wait patiently.

This was a two-hour art performance exhibition, containing humans, artworks(drawings and installations), music, and aliens at International Peace Conference(IPC) at United World College Maastricht in 2019.
We believe aliens are miniatures of the living in the world. They represent the miniatures of various human behaviors but in an extreme way.
Each individual has a role in their routines on this planet which we called "Aliens' Planet" (click on each image to see different descriptions above).
There are reasons to choose the songs, the color of blue, and the roles. However, what matters is the experience we want the participants to have is to leave yourself behind, to embrace and find who you are in this Aliens' Planet.
