禮崩樂壞 When Rites Collapse and Music Spoils

Teom Chen

New Media Artist |Taiwan

OTHER PERSPECTIVE

DETAILS OF THE WORK

A moving theater Truck loaded with Taiwanese Opera Theater carries the degeneration and chaos of the traditional values.

The phrase "禮崩樂壞" is an ancient Chinese idiom that translates to "the collapse of tradition and the destruction of music". It suggests that in the chaotic situation of modern society, people no longer give importance to traditional values.
This AR work is about people's adaptability to rapidly changing values. Using the form of the traditional Taiwanese Opera, this work is about the idea when the traditional values collapse as a natural phenomenon, how can we human try to adapt this in an absurd, unbalanced and kind of chaotic way. The virtual opera truck stands around 40-50cm height. When viewers try to watch the opera, they got to bend over while they follow the moving truck.
