| DESIGN NAME: Frost And Flame PRIMARY FUNCTION: Performaning Art and Stage Design INSPIRATION: Scientists' statistics and predictions suggest that global warming could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. This international environmental crisis demands collective action from individuals and countries worldwide. The immersive digital ink generative video art installation and dance performance, through the distinctive texture of Chinese ink painting and the language of geometric abstraction and gestural abstraction, depicts the transformation of a glacier from frost to flame. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As the video progresses, the color palette shifts from cool to warm, symbolizing the distressing impacts of global warming. However, the re-freezing of the text at the end of the dance provides a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential power of humanity's collective efforts. The creative fusion of traditional ink painting with environmental awareness brings this classical art form into the sphere of contemporary art, integrating with modern dance performance and emphasizing its transformation in the digital era. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: An immersive digital generative video art installation as stage design for modern dance performance. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began in October 2024 in Macao and concluded in February 2025 in Shenzhen as part of the Glow Shenzhen Light Art Festival. This immersive installation and dance performance received the prestigious Gold Medal Award in the festival. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This work began by hand-painted ink paintings on rice-paper. Next, converted these physical artworks into digital images using a high-resolution scanner. Finally, software such as TouchDesigner is used to create dynamic movements, blending traditional painting techniques with digital generative elements to achieve an immersive installation and unique stage design for modern dance performance. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This is a 4m x 7.5m x 4.8m immersive installation with digital ink generative video art on a LED panel with acrylic mirrors on the walls, ceiling and floor as stage for modern dance performance.

This international environmental crisis demands collective action from individuals and countries worldwide. The immersive digital ink generative video art installation and stage design, created using digital ink, combines the distinctive texture of Chinese ink painting with the visual language of geometric abstraction and gestural abstraction to depict the transformation of a glacier from frost to flame. The transition in the color palette—from cool to warm tones—symbolizes the alarming effects of global warming. However, the re-freezing of text at the end of the video conveys a glimmer of hope, signifying the potential impact of collective global efforts. This innovative fusion of traditional ink painting with the concept of environmental consciousness propels this classical art form into the sphere of contemporary art, underscoring its relevance in the digital era. The immersive installation and dance performance not only reflect the profound wisdom of classical Chinese culture but also highlights humanity's collective responsibility. It demonstrates how traditional art forms can be revitalized and reimagined to address urgent global challenges, such as environmental conservation. CHALLENGE: The transformation of classical and contemporary ink painting mediums and techniques into postmodern digital generative video art serves as an immersive installation and stage design for a modern dance performance.
