Abstract
Myth From the Future: Immersive Interactive Art Installation
Myth from the Future (audio/visual interactive installation) focuses on the idea of reflecting/reminding how current technology has blended into our daily lives, physical and mental bodies by referring to the ancient Chinese classic literature, “the Classics of Mountains and Seas”. Can you imagine how a human being will evolve into a 3-head-man in the future? No need to wait, because actually, we ARE this kind of 3-head “tech-species” (a species with tech-devices merging) if you consider our smartphone, laptop as heads, and plus our own head. Many strange living things were no longer existing but written down in “the Classics of Mountains and Seas”, and this project attempts to take these creatures in these tales of marvels as metaphors to indicate people who wear/hold hi-technology gadgets and the robotic creatures as “tech-species”. Through this 3-4 minute life experience, one of the audiences will become the “tech-species” by controlling the instrument to influence the immersive audio and visual effect in real-time.
