Creative Lab

︎ Mar, 2025
Laser & Dance


 

As a media artist, I initiated a one-day creative workshop CREATIVE LAB in collaboration with the award winning London based production company Dance Film Performance. The project was conceived as an open laboratory where visual artists, filmmakers, choreographers, and performers gather to explore ideas in real time. It invites the public to witness and engage with the evolving process.

The first edition launched on March 8, 2025, in collaboration with DFP Artistic Director and choreographer Angelina Gorgaeva. Together, we explored the intersection of movement, light, and spatial composition, developing a performance that emerged spontaneously through dialogue between body and space.

For this edition, I designed a spatial laser installation conceived as a sculptural light environment rather than a conventional stage effect. Two laser projectors were positioned on either side of the space, with a third directed downward from above, forming a three sided field of intersecting beams. Through haze and light, these beams carved the air into visible planes, generating an immersive architecture of luminous surfaces.

Using interactive programming, I experimented with real time relationships between laser coordinates and the dancer’s movement. At times, the laser acted like a brush, drawing fluid lines that traced and responded to the body. At other moments, lateral beams expanded into shifting planes resembling waves, allowing the dancer to appear as if emerging from or submerging within a sea of light.

In the interplay between light, fog, and motion, invisible beams became spatial boundaries. Light defined space, and space became light. Within this constructed field, the body was alternately constrained, released, fragmented, and liberated. CREATIVE LAB became an exploration of the tension between body and environment, revealing choreography not only in movement but in the architecture of light itself.



我与伦敦获奖制作公司 Dance Film Performance 合作发起 CREATIVE LAB 创意实验室项目。这是一场为期一天的实验性创作平台，汇集视觉艺术家、影像创作者与编舞者，在开放给公众的空间中展开现场创作。

首期于 2025 年 3 月 8 日举办，与 DFP 艺术总监 及编舞家Angelina Gorgaeva 合作展开。我们围绕肢体、光线与空间的关系展开探索，使作品在实时互动中有机地生成。

在此次创作中，我将激光设计为一种具有空间感的光雕塑装置，而非传统舞台效果。空间两侧各设置一台激光投影设备，顶部向下设置一台，通过三面光线构建环绕式的光场。在烟雾与光束的交织中，光形成无形的平面切割空气，形成一种虚形的空间结构。

通过互动编程，我尝试将激光点位与舞者的动态实时结合。有时，激光如画笔般在空间中绘制流动线条，在舞者身体周围穿梭；有时，两侧光束扩展为流动的平面，如海浪般起伏，使舞者的身体在光的海面中时而探出，时而沉没。

在光与雾的交融之中，无形的光束成为空间的界面。光即空间，空间亦为光。人的身体在其中被束缚、被释放、被切割、被穿越。CREATIVE LAB 成为一次关于身体与空间关系的实验，探索光与肢体之间所生成的张力与对话。
