SURREALITY: Step into Mixed Reality Art

About the Exhibition

What happens when art steps off the screen and into the world around you? SURREALITY invites UbiComp / ISWC 2026 participants to explore the boundaries between the physical and the virtual and discover new possibilities for artistic expression and experience.

Bringing together mixed reality, artificial intelligence and digital art, the exhibition transforms familiar surroundings into spaces for unexpected encountersโ€”and invites you to become part of the artwork.

Led by Exhibition Director Prof. Pan HUI and presented by the Center for Metaverse and Computational Creativity (MC2), HKUST(GZ), SURREALITY offers a hands-on opportunity to experience spatial computing as an artistic medium.

Drop by between conference sessions, put on a headset, and see the conference venue transformed.

Past Conferences

The ACM international joint conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp) is the result of a merger of the two most renowned conferences in the field: Pervasive and UbiComp. While it retains the name of the latter in recognition of the visionary work of Mark Weiser, its long name reflects the dual history of the new event.

The ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computing (ISWC) discusses novel results in all aspects of wearable computing, and has been colocated with UbiComp and Pervasive since 2013.

A complete list of UbiComp, Pervasive, and ISWC past conferences is provided below.
