Chen Yi Studio: Current/Y at The Coronet Theatre

A live perfoemance mixing art, dance and technology, where a dancer comes face-to-face with her digital twin. Supported by the Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, Current/y is an immersive work by Taiwanese artist Chen Yi combining live performance, motion capture, game-engine technology, lasers, large-scale projection and an immersive spatial soundscape.

The Mandarin title of the artwork “ 鎏” is a combination of two characters, “current” and “gold”. Similarly, the slash in its English title “Current/y” not only indicates an “either/or” duality, but can be read as a separation mark in the programming language for folders and file paths. The title’s dual meanings reflect how the artwork series explores the transactional flow of different kinds of virtual currencies.
