ELEME
Dec. 2019VJ Performance | Realtime Audiovisual
ELEME is a VJ&DJ performance. Using the basic geometric shapes and lines coordinating with the musical materials come from real-life, the musical and visual performance was trying to show how social media and network is offering convenience to us. At the same time, the chaotic visuals and sounds are also part of our real life.
The socializing patterns have changed a lot due to the development of mobile phone and social media. In China, specifically, Wechat becomes the most frequent used chatting software and software for takeaway ordering such as ELEME (饿了么) become more and more popular. The development of social media and software changes the way we socialize a lot: they offer us convenience as well as more access to various information; however, they are also controlling us to some extent, as we rely and focus on them so much that we have neglected and lost some important aspects in life. Therefore, I want to embed the relationship between people and their socializing ways, in order to reflect the impact of social media nowadays critically.
