Circle 2 – Yujie

For the circle 2, I was going to add the composition of multiple projection screens and audience interaction.But I spent too much time on some technical issues. I end up having little progress on these two things. But I did try something new. I add a viewing experience that aims at defamiliarizing what we see every day as “real” experience. Especially, when we perceive things according to already-made categories. I ask the viewers to invert their iPhone to negative mode. Then they can choose to (or not) use their negative mode camara to see the performance. When they look at the dancer, they will see that she is invert to negative, while when they look at the projection (parts of the body in negative), they will see the normal images. I hope that in consistently seeking to “see”, the viewers will reflect on their own subjective viewing experience and on what they can really “see.”

Here is the recording of the circle 2 showing:

For the circle 3, I will continue what I have left from circle 1 and I will add voice recording of the dancer

1. Develop multiple projections 

2. Audience presence in the performance

3. voice recording of the dancer
