Pinyin is a performance where a dancer wear an interactive dress and explore the sound and music of the Taiwanese Aboriginal Communities. Pinyin means spelled sound in chinese.
The interactive dress has embedded 7 touch sensors and 4 speakers. When the wearer touches the sensible points a music from an specific aboriginal community is broadcasted on the speakers. When two points are touched at the same time the sounds are mixed, as if the communities sing together.
This work was possible due to the collaboration with Taipei Artist Village and Taiwan Music Center.
