In this space-time, EXISTENCE CORPORATION allows dying people to enter the digital memory world to neaten and grade memory. That is an exhausting procedure to balance the length of service time and quantity of memory collection. The VIP rank displays users' value; the value is a mystery; it's provocative. No one knows how capital deals with memory. Preached eternal memory storage service is not unconditioned secure. 

Information left for the future and imagination of the past; external memory records and human memory recall descriptions always have divergence. Artificial time concepts and "time preserving" technologies increasingly complicate memory attributes. Humans have always longed for eternity and, meanwhile, feared it. What are people chasing? Fearing or desire to forget?

"Currently, this game is an offline version (a test used windows system with RTX graphic card). However, Ziqi highly recommends players play it at offline RCA DEGREE SHOW because the interaction between players is significant. "

During the COVID-19, subconsciousness changed unknowingly; wearing a mask is as usual as wearing clothes. Past every day has become extravagant hopes under restriction. After scrolling the phone aimlessly repeatedly at night to relieve the anxiety of lockdown, Ziqi gradually connects his memory with his art, audience, and himself. 

'BEFORE THE FUTURE' is a complete artwork and an idea generation process from Ziqi. The functionings of remembering, association, and construction are interconnected and experientially, which is difficult to disentangle. As an artist, when Ziqi's memories are activated by the surrounding stimulation, as are his culturally specific associations. The viewer, too.
