You’re not the only particle in universe

project description

You’re Not the Only Particle in Universe is a home-based multimedia performance that tells a story about finding paths and connections in a fictional world. The performance uses multiple home lamps as performing instruments to generate music real time. The performer can bow, tap, or spin the lamp to trigger music notes, loops, and midi instruments. 

Light can express emotion. What if we see light beyond its utilitarian function and allow light to become a performer on stage? In this performance, light becomes part of the choreography and extension of the performer's body. Light responds to performer's movement to create live music composition and a special type of light choreography. The project explores the use of interactive light as a storytelling device and light as an interactive prop in performance.
