Abstract: The conceptual evolution from“a community of shared future for mankind”to“a community of
shared future”marks a step beyond anthropocentrism. A community of shared future is not only a community of
reality, but also a community of imagination. This kind of imagination, is not fabricated out of nothing, but based
on image communication and construction. A community with images as carriers goes beyond the limitation of
time and space, and even takes the integrated form of game, science fiction and film game, thus further
constructing a“surreal”image metaverse. Although virtual community, distinctive of“boundary breaking”,
gains a kind of spiritual freedom that is not limited by time and space, it poses new challenges to national
security concepts.

Key words: metaverse, a community of shared future, image, film and game integration, media art
