Black Hole Museum + Body Browser - as a part of Focus Taiwan C-LAB

Introduction

Conceived by Taiwanese artist SU Wen-Chi, Dancing Gravity is an experimental performance project on how to imagine and perceive abstract gravity in astronomy with the movement of dance, sound and light. Originated in Accelerate@CERNTaiwan (Geneva) in 2016 and supported by the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) in the U.S. 2019, its current working-in-progress Black Hole Museum + Body Brower is evolved with C-LAB Taiwan Sound Lab; inviting dancer, sound and VR artists jointly explore aspects of performing in a VR spacetime, along with reflections on the epidemic prevention and border control, on how we meet offsite.
