Looks like the Hong Kong Space Museum’s no longer the only dome-shaped destination in town putting on mesmerising visual displays – for the next few weeks, at least.
FutureScope, a geodesic dome structure billed as “Hong Kong’s first large-scale art dome”, has arrived at Kai Tak Sports Park, along with an interactive multi-sensory experience to celebrate its launch. Open from December 19, 2025 until January 4, 2026, FutureScope will present ‘Perpetual Records’, an exhibition showcasing the collaborative works between local media art studio XCEPT and Japanese artist Daito Manabe.
Visitors are invited to step into a shared universe of ever-evolving sight and captivating sound, where their active participation helps to shape and co-create the 360-degree immersive experience. ‘Perpetual Records’ is inspired by the Akashic Records – a mystical compendium of all universal events and human experiences – and translates this spiritual concept into a personalised visual spectacle. Modern facial recognition technology is used to scan visitors’ faces and ‘translate’ them into unique geometric patterns, allowing audiences to join in the digital transformation as a communal activity. Complementing the optics is an adaptive white noise and electric soundscape designed by Daito Manabe, which transforms in response to visitors’ facial expressions.
Aside from the exhibition, there are also ticketed performances taking place on January 2 to 4, 2026, which will allow visitors to actively engage with the artwork on a deeper level across five distinct scenes. Under the guidance of Chris Cheung (h0nh1m), XCEPT’s artistic director, the sessions include live encounters and an orchestrated audio-visual performance, which uses facial recognition technology to modify the environment in real time and create a one-of-a-kind experience unique to the audience at that performance.
Admission to the public exhibition is free, so there’s really no reason not to go scope things out. Be sure to plan ahead by securing your complimentary ticket on KKDay and take note of the opening hours: 2pm to 8pm on Mondays to Thursdays, 2pm to 10pm on Fridays, and 11am to 10pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. FutureScope will be closed on December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2026. As for the ticketed performances on January 2 to 4, standard tickets cost $90 and concession tickets cost $60. Visitors can purchase them on KKDay and choose from four daily sessions, each lasting 30 minutes.
