Art and Tech


During Monday lab we always brainstorm ourselves and come up with some great creative ideas. Some of them may take a lot to practice but it’s always good to have these ideas. After all big work all starts with a small thought. Last year we did Monkey King. We started off with just an ancient Chinese story and some leaps. We had some science students who made those amazing program that added so much fun to our show. And we also rewrote the story and made it contemporary and more western. The whole show is a creation and I learned that technology sometime can work totally perfect in performances. We ended up having a very cool show that combines different culture and music and stuff. Speaking of technology in performance, I watched a video of this musician called David Garrett playing Viva La Vida. David is a crossover violinist and recording artist. In this video he plays different parts of the harmony and combines his multiple images together. I like the way he uses color and his own image, and he also uses slow motion at certain point. It’s a mixture of visual and music. I won’t say it’s the best music video but I think it’s pretty cool and the music is just beautiful.
