Mong Tong x XTRUX

“We thought we no longer believed in magic—but perhaps that, in itself, is a form of belief.”

In this collaboration, XTRUX blends Taiwanese folk religion with mythological imagery inspired by One Thousand and One Nights. Using a game engine they have long employed for real-time visual construction, the project combines these visuals with Mong Tong’s distinctive superstition-infused ritual music, attempting to map out a vision of “future folklore.”

As technology seeps into everyday life, social media becomes saturated with spiritual and wellness narratives, and artificial intelligence increasingly appears to be treated as an answer to all things.
Human beings do not anticipate the sunrise merely because the Earth rotates—so what lies behind that expectation? Is it belief, imagination, or science?

Perhaps technology has never truly brought about “disenchantment,” but rather an ongoing process of re-enchantment.
“Tomorrow Sound” emerges precisely at this intersection—between belief and the unknown.
