Chronoplume

Dance Through
Traditional Luanverdor Hours

OverviewShowcaseConceptDesign Process

By intertwining the mythical Luan bird with the concept of time, Chronoplume employed the fusion of dance choreography and digital art techniques to craft a virtual time art piece.

I created twelve improvised dance sequences and captured them using Kinect+DepthKit technology to generate a series of dynamic 3D model sequences.

Concept Building

I found inspiration in the mythical Luanverdor from Shan Hai Jing and traditional Chinese concepts of time: the twelve earthly branches and the sundial. These elements symbolize the rhythm and order of life, nature, and the universe. I aimed to merge celestial elegance with the passage of time, creating a harmonious exploration of life's essence through artistic expression.

Design Process

Making of

I used my own body as a medium to express mythical stories and imagery through physical movement and gestures. I have crafted twelve improvisational dance segments, giving rise to the concept of "Twelve Luanverdor Hours."

I utilized the Kinect Azure to capture the continuous body language during my improvisational dance, employing DepthKit software for processing. This resulted in a series of dynamic 3D model sequences.

Then they underwent 3D processing, design, and material creation using C4D, transforming into a collection of static/dynamic sculptures representing a new mythology.
