Amorphous Body Documentation
launchpad
Launchpad is based on the UI of launchpad keypads and the way it lights up on play. There are 3x3 tiles that resemble the keypads, and they light up if the high pass filtered sound pass a threshold. The camera feed is also deconstructed into 9 frames at a time, thus showing your movement that has happened in 9 frames. Each frame has slight transparency into it, thus creating the illusion of onion skin and give audience the information of what has happened in their movement 1 frame prior.

The works are displayed as documentation and accompaniment to the Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival's Amorphous Body: A Happening - an avant-garde experimentation and live performances in conjunction with the Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival in M+ Museum (Hong Kong) on 31 May 2024, starting with Baby Diwata, a Manila-born DJ known for genre-fluid selections, and Loveless, a Hong Kong-born artist who brings a non-conforming mix to the dance floor. Experimental visuals will be created in live-time by Elizabeth Kezia Widjaja.
