Description

The project intended to show a leaping dream process, and the visitors could design their dreams by clicking the “dreamer’s words” to get into their own special dreams. The project was inspired by The Interpretation of Dreams, written by Sigmund Freud, who groundbreaking showed that how elements appear in one’s dream could influence the dreaming process.

As different elements may have the special meaning referred to as a dream dictionary, different words would create special atmospheres for the visitors. By arranging the order of the words, the visitors could enter a “dream” designed by oneself and be encouraged to use the concept “montage”, to help them leaping from one word to another. Every word was connected to a video or audio and was reorganized by the visitors when they click on them.

To make the project more immersive, the VR technique was required in the future for further development.

Concerts under pandemic

To challenge the idea that: screen limits the powerful effect of a concert, I use multiple screens and mirrors to create a space which audience and walk into to experience the powerful sound and visuals from concerts under this pandemic background.

This exhibition is called “concerts in pandemic”.

It aims to create a space where people experience the heart-shaking feelings of audio and visual that concerts provide. Based on interview responses from my friends, one biggest reason they go to concert is to “broke the screen” and feel it in person. However, I want to challenge this idea of “screen is a barrier”. I use several screens and mirrors to create a space where people can go in feel the strong visual, audio and emotion provided by screens. No matter with screens or not, concerts and music itself has great power especially in this pandemic period. I put my work in this historical background. In the pandemic period, we are not able to feel the concert in person. However, with a lot of online concerts going on, we still feel connected by music. Music has great power.
