Give me a sec 等一下 - 完整录屏版 Original

Full screen record and technical instruction of the experimental multi-media performance "Give Me a Sec". 实验性跨媒体表演作品“等一下”的完整录屏，以及具体技术介绍。 . . A seagull wanders by a lake, thinking to take off in the next second but it hesitates. The performance describes a daily panic in the flow of time caused by the paradox between our internal and external self. With a rhythmic repetitive chant of a list of phrases descriptive of states of individuals pondering before taking actions with an awareness of the flowing time, a video shows a seagull facing a lake, hesitating to fly away. And in the next scene, the seagull stands in the middle of the lake, although there’re other birds swimming/flying around, it still stops there. Suddenly its reflection in the lake flies away, leaving the still entity there. Then after a while, the seagull entity disappears in the middle of the lake. The flowing lake is a representation of time. The states of the seagull and its reflection represent the paradox between our external and internal beings. Sounds are live-manipulated by the performer’s mouth and a rotating clear vessel with water in it. The mouth responds to the state of ‘speaking with hesitation’ and the spinning water responds to a flowing time. The videos and sound environments are coded and amplified in Max, while receiving messages from an openFramework faceOSC and a phone GyrOSC. “这只海鸥在湖边徘徊着，想着下一秒就要飞起来，却又犹豫了。” “Give me a sec (等一下)” 是一个结合影像、交互和行为的实验性视听表演。通过一只海鸥的一段自言自语，以带一点幽默的方式表达我们日常中的拖延焦虑，以及精神思想与物质存在两个层面之间的自我矛盾。 第一段场景中，海鸥面对着湖面，犹豫着是否要飞走。下一段场景中，海鸥站在湖中央，虽然有别的鸟在周围游泳或飞过，但它仍然停留在那里。直至某一个瞬间，它在湖中的倒影飞走了，留下了它的实体扔停留在那儿。又过了一会儿，这只海鸥消失在湖中央。流动的湖水象征着时间，海鸥实体的状态和它的倒影象征着我们物质存在和精神思想的矛盾与不同步。其中吟诵的声音实时通过表演者面对镜头的嘴巴张合和手上旋转的水瓶控制。表演者来回张合的嘴象征着犹豫不决的状态，旋转动荡的水则象征着我们在犹豫状态中在脑海里想象经历的时间的流逝或倒退。 影像和声音在Max中进行编码，并从openFramework faceOsc与phone GyrOsc中接收数据，进行现场实时控制。 作品于2019年3月演出于Goldsmiths St James Hatcham，以及4月演出于SET Dalston, East London
