Resonance

‘Resonance’ is a performance that uses gestures to interact with the synthesizer in a video game.

Through the movement of fingers and arms, gesture capture camera is used to realize the interaction with video game. Each different gesture will trigger and change different synthesizers in the game, creating a resonance experience between the human and the virtual world.

The work was inspired by the habits changed during the residency in Geneva. I felt that more physical activity can generate more energy and more satisfaction. Therefore, I used a richer body movements to talk to the virtual world, trying to explore a closer balance between the real and the digital.
