Multimedia Arts Lecture Series — Sound • Image • Performance: A Trilogy of Multimedia Creation for the Stage

When music transforms into images, the stage becomes an interactive space, and sound takes on textures that can be “seen”, multimedia art becomes more than a display of technology.  It emerges as a creative language that reorganises sensory experience and narrative form.  This lecture series, we have invited three creators from the fields of visual design, stage multimedia, and sound and new media art to talk about their respective journeys.  Drawing on real creative cases, they will share the ideas, production processes, and observations on emerging trends to guide participants to explore how multimedia can unleash creative possibilities in the contemporary stage environment.

Lecture 1

Constructing Space: The Dance Between Body and Image

Taking stage multimedia design as the starting point, this lecture will explore how images can actually generate space, and even become part of the choreography itself. It will also examine how relationships between movement, light and rhythm are established, and how the interaction between images and performers can be adjusted so that body and images are complementary.  Through brief demonstrations and interactive segments, participants will gain insight into what makes stage images unique from the perspective of the viewer.

Lecture 2

Technology in Theatre: Multimedia Storytelling and Emerging Trends

Drawing on the speaker's personal creative and production experience, this lecture will engage participants in the conceptualisation and methodology behind multimedia design in theatre.  It will explore how multimedia technology can serve storytelling, shape atmosphere and rhythm, drive character and emotional development, and redefine the audience's viewpoint and level of engagement.  This lecture will also discuss the potential applications and future trends of AI in theatre.

20 May (Wed)

Lecture 3

Sound as Instrument: The Evolution of Sound Art and Multimedia Creation

Using musical composition as a starting point, this lecture will explore how musicians and composers transform sound into an artistic form.  It will also review how technology has reshaped the methods of sound production over time, alongside developments in AI and other emerging tools, to examine how these advances open up possibilities of sound in multimedia creation such as installations, images and performances, while rethinking the value of human creativity, listening and live experience.
