Human and Machine, Media and Sound.
In between breathing, rediscover here and now.
Keep Breathing at Zero is a stage production by Hong Kong Media Artist GayBird, which further develop the original production Breathing at Zero presented by The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in May. The performance comprises media art, sound installations, electronic music and moving images to transform the stage into a percussion instrument, which is then connected through dialogue between humans and a robotic arm. This original work explores the relationship between humans and machines in the new technological era. Zero may seem the end of all matters. It may become the start of everything.
