Abstract
An invited online lecture which reached almost 1 million views. The lecture was also accompanied by an on-site live performance with the audience.
Performance description:
This performance will present an innovative artistic experience that fuses digital technology, cultural heritage, and immersive interaction. The ensemble will perform with a meticulously designed portable Chinese garden art installation, in which traditional garden elements such as pavilions, plants, rocks, and flowing water are endowed with interactive functions, transforming them into triggerable audio-visual media. By touching different landscape features, performers activate real-time sound-and-image feedback, breathing new life into classical garden art within a digital dimension.
The conceptual foundation of this work draws inspiration from the Laptop Orchestra—a pioneering art form that reconstructs musical performance through computers, sensors, and digital technologies. Building on this foundation, the performance pushes beyond tradition, transforming the aesthetic poetics of the Chinese garden into an interactive audio-visual narrative. It explores innovative ways of expressing cultural heritage in the digital era. The audience will witness a poetic dialogue between technology and tradition and experience a multisensory cultural journey that transcends time and space.
