Integrating old chinese shadow play-piying into tangible interaction (abstract only)

Published: 24 January 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Piying is an old Chinese art form and one of the origins of the modern movie. In Piying, the shadow of fur made characters with delicate carving could be seen by audience in front of the curtain. The artists behind the curtain control the actions of shadows using sticks fastened to the characters.
The spirit of traditional Piying performance is to express rich stories and emotion through action change controlled by artists. Now, digital forms of Piying characters can be made as a way of retaining cultural legacy. The thing is how people could interact with the digital characters instead of just watching screen animations without the traditional improvising change. It is an exploration of ways of preserving the classic cultural treasure in a natural and novel way. The studio draws a connection between an old Chinese form and modern-day movies and TEI can provide a fun intersection between culture and creation.
