Residency to create an immersive experience through spatialized sound and gestural interaction. 

Kǎn is the symbol for water in Feng Shui, the Chinese philosophy of the relationship between man and nature. Water is a component of the human being, and the world is connected by it. Yet pollution and drought have unbalanced the relationship between man and water.

Yellow Wasabi proposes to use transdisciplinary methods, arts and sciences, to reconnect human and water through an interactive audiovisual experience. Yellow Wasabi plays the Guzheng, the traditional Chinese harp, and reproduces the gesture of water in Qigong, captured by an intelligent motion tracker. The resonant sound will be arranged by an underwater recording in a musical composition process under Max/MSP.

Yellow Wasabi will generate an interactive 3D neural network projection from the soundscape of the Guzheng and the water, creating an immersive space. The audience will be able to connect to the water via Wi-Fi interaction and revisit their relationship with it. The public will be aware that their behavior affects the water, which will be reflected in sound and musical variations. Only with an inclusive spirit can the relationship between man and water achieve harmony.
