Five Elements of Living Treasure
Five Elements of Living Treasure 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.
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.
