Zhuangzi's Butterfly Inception

Project details match catalog

About

Inspired by Zhuangzi and His Butterfly Dream, the work explores the intersection of hyperspace, the soothing sounds of the Guzheng, the power of healing frequencies, algorithmic visualizations, and the artist's own Chinese cultural root and her cosmological meditations. This results in a mesmerizing, multi-sensory experience, with gesture and sound-related captivating multi-channel projections, live vocalizations, and classical Chinese music.

Impact

This project not only investigates the intersection of technology and art but also prioritizes the promotion of inner well-being, utilizing healing art and cultural practices to foster a sense of tranquility and strengthen interpersonal bonds.
