The story happens in a fictitious world which featuring a high centralized society. People call it Times.One day, a sudden collapsing accident occurred in the Times Centre Mine. Four people, an old retiring model miner(Tom), a middle-aged boozy miner(Ben), a young highly educated technician(Danny) and a special reporter for Federal Times(Carry) are trapped in the mine waiting for rescue at the same time. As time goes by, all they have is just a miners lamp. Its a story about disaster. Characters in it will lose themselves during the continued trail of humanity. We also hope that audience can be a little bit self-missing too because that means self-examination and personal judgement on living space for some degree.

Creator note: By Weiwei Jin Based on the idea of a multimedia installation-performance, Kaleidoscope introduces the spectator to an audiovisual kaleidoscope where bits of sounds and images are played, cut and reflected. Having the idea of human expressions as a fundamental thought, this work captures, collects and edits different expressive elements and decontextualizes them. It is a conceptual quest for freedom of expressions. This work presents a space where sound and image intersect, where multi-layered spatial audio and visual environments communicate an experience form inside to outside and from outside to inside. The facial painting/masking process of Beijing opera was filmed and edited for multi video projection, accompanied with acousmatic music, which was created from recordings of press printing factories and the reading of texts in seven different languages. The creator expresses the direct influence that the past 6 years of her life has had in her. Learning foreign expressions, getting use to new ones, creating own ones, forgetting old ones and rethinking those already forgotten. The video part of this work was collaborated with Peruvian video artist Matias Vega Norell. Program note: On a street corner I noticed the multiplicity of simultaneous visual and audible events all going together in ones experience and producing enjoyment- John Milton Cage The first decade of the XXI is already behind us, and the advances in the field of communications – and the technology related to it – have changed the standards of human interaction. The world will never be the same again. In the verge of this media / technology / communication revolution, we take a step back to think about the core of it all: Human expressions. We, as a race, have the need of communicating. We use the spoken and written word to reach people; our faces and bodies express emotions; art is a way of transforming feeling and thoughts into movement, colour, light and sound, etc.… We are expressive individuals. However, communication can only happen within a context. Kaleidoscope is an installation where human expressions are taken out of their natural context and set together in a non-existing space to blend and become something else. The make up process of the traditional Beijing Opera; the sound of the printing room in a newspaper factory; voices talking about freedom of speech in 7 different languages; the use of colours, and the space itself become layers of expression that are to be decoded and interpreted by the spectator, probably the most important character in the place. As in every communication process it is the spectator who gives a meaning to the experience, regardless of which one it is. Welcome to Kaleidoscope. Enjoy.
