Media Design for Interdisciplinary Performance- Imprint at SFU Woodward's

Dear Friends,

I’m currently working on the Media Design for Imprint II with my brother Shang-han, an interdisciplinary performance piece with dance, music, media and telepresence technology. This project is co-created by choreographer Henry Daniel and composer Owen Underhill with the Turning Point Ensemble.

The last Imprint has successfully performed in MoA in January 2010. This time we’re performing at SFU Woodward’s spectacular Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre

Our work involves real-time visual processing and interactive media in dance, music and theatre environment. Although the visual projection isn't the main dish of the show, but experimenting alternative ways to present images and motion on unconventional platform might be somewhat interesting to you.

There will also be an interactive/telepresent installation created by Majid Bagheri, Xiaonan Mah & James O'callaghan in the gallery before, during and after the show. You can see the dancers performing in the gallery in the first half of the show, then they'll leave to the theatre and the that's when telepresence comes into the gallery. This part of the show is accessible for free.

A+B Asia Tour (Aonami+Baifan: Low-Bits Music)

my friend Aonami from Tokyo and his collaborator musician Baifan from Beijing is having an asia tour with their amazing Low-Bits (8-bits/video game/chiptunes) electronic music.

Motoki (Aonami) is one of the sweetest man that I've known, also the craziest dude on stage. I've made a short promo video on their music:
