380.49 hPa 
We all may have our own Nuptse somewhere inside.
 

The title refers to the atmospheric pressure recorded at an altitude of 7,861 meters — the height of Mount Nuptse. Inspired by the climbers' spirit and the legendary Nuptse peak in the Himalayas, 380.49 hPa is a panoramic new media art project that pays tribute to the 30th anniversary of The North Face's iconic Nuptse series and embodies the mindset of fearless exploration.

The artist reconstructs the essence of nature through surreal landscapes composed of virtual scenes, musical architecture, and soundscapes gathered from expedition environments. Presented in chapters of musical theatre, the artwork transforms the rhythm and tension of the climbing experience into an emotional journey. It transports viewers back to the fundamental nature of physical particles through panoramic virtual reality, crafting an alternative landscape rooted in the core of the natural world.

Here, the mountain becomes a spiritual symbol — a point of resonance where technology, sound, and visual immersion reconnect the viewer with the earth, the atmosphere, and the enduring human desire to keep moving forward. Through the synthesis of art and music, 380.49 hPa evokes both introspection and inspiration, constructing a shared emotional space between the human spirit and the natural world.
