<p><i>Five
Elements of Living Treasur</i>e is an HCI Composition and Interactive
Performance for Immersive Multimedia,
presented with multiple large-format screens and surround sound. This research has two focus areas: apply
immersive techniques to convey intimacy of performers’ actions in large concert
venues; apply emerging
digital methods to convey a relationship between processes
and materiality of music and ceramics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The interactive content explores the extreme slow
art, ceramic making, using a computational lens and performance action to
unveil a deep narrative of craft labour and its epic process. An analogy
emerges through the intense time-critical performance dynamics between in-situ
labour on stage and its subject contents, inviting audiences to reflect through
heightened sensorial engagement. </p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p>This work generated these R&D impacts: 1)
benchmarking and reengineering experimental web technology from Google Chrome
for a complex dynamic query; 2) benchmarking and engineering maximum retrieval
schema for diverse media types - 2D images, video, sounds, and IoT messages.
Including IoT messages as a type of media is one of the original and futuristic
contributions of this work. 3) deploying an array of audio loudspeakers as IoT
devices to pass performance signals to designated speakers for 3D sound imaging;
4) novel interface design and prototype built for real-time multimedia
performance that is respectful for human cognitive capacity for a complex task;
5) integrating multimedia information systems with semantic computing strategy
for thematically organizing and retrieving diverse media from a database, which
is in effect a methodology with a futuristic vision for emerging narrative
structure; most importantly 6) heightening digital tangibility through visual
and sound processing for representing materiality of ceramic arts through computational
and digital signal processing.</p>
