Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: As the video progresses, the color palette shifts from cool to warm, symbolizing the distressing impacts of global warming. However, the re-freezing of the text at the end of the dance provides a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential power of humanity's collective efforts. The creative fusion of traditional ink painting with environmental awareness brings this classical art form into the sphere of contemporary art, integrating with modern dance performance and emphasizing its transformation in the digital era.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is a 4m x 7.5m x 4.8m immersive installation with digital ink generative video art on a LED panel with acrylic mirrors on the walls, ceiling and floor as stage for modern dance performance.
Tags: Digital Art and Dance Performance, Immersive Installation with Dance, Interactive Installation with Dance, Contemporary Ink with Dance, Immersive Stage Design
Production Technology: This work began by hand-painted ink paintings on rice-paper. Next, converted these physical artworks into digital images using a high-resolution scanner. Finally, software such as TouchDesigner is used to create dynamic movements, blending traditional painting techniques with digital generative elements to achieve an immersive installation and unique stage design for modern dance performance.
Design Challenge: The transformation of classical and contemporary ink painting mediums and techniques into postmodern digital generative video art serves as an immersive installation and stage design for a modern dance performance.
Research: Scientists’ statistics and predictions suggest that global warming could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. This international environmental crisis demands collective action from individuals and countries worldwide. The immersive digital ink generative video art installation and stage design, created using digital ink, combines the distinctive texture of Chinese ink painting with the visual language of geometric abstraction and gestural abstraction to depict the transformation of a glacier from frost to flame. The transition in the color palette—from cool to warm tones—symbolizes the alarming effects of global warming. However, the re-freezing of text at the end of the video conveys a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential impact of collective global efforts. This innovative fusion of traditional ink painting with the concept of environmental consciousness propels this classical art form into the sphere of contemporary art, underscoring its relevance in the digital era. The immersive installation and dance performance not only reflect the profound wisdom of classical Chinese culture but also highlights humanity's collective responsibility. It demonstrates how traditional art forms can be revitalized and reimagined to address urgent global challenges, such as environmental conservation.
Inspiration: Scientists' statistics and predictions suggest that global warming could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. This international environmental crisis demands collective action from individuals and countries worldwide. The immersive digital ink generative video art installation and dance performance, through the distinctive texture of Chinese ink painting and the language of geometric abstraction and gestural abstraction, depicts the transformation of a glacier from frost to flame.
