To present a natural narrative space, we decided to restore the living room of a traditional Chinese family’s house to invite the audience to interact with the environment. We designed the living room with a projector screen as the background with a TV, a doll that can be interacted with, and a headphone and mobile device set that the audience is required to put on to hear and interact with the audio. The audience is free to enter the room and start interacting with different objects to invoke the related animation and audio. Each interactive method is a signifier of issues including gender education, marriage and reproduction rights that females in Chinese might encounter. The animation visualizes narratively visualizes the issue and the audio plays the debate of female voices speaking on this topic.
Individually, I conducted research with a research question of how do females in China consider the constraints from gender education, marriage and reproduction rights happening to themselves. The sound was the digital media I used as an interactive element of the installation. I designed the interactive audio with two channels playing separate sound clips from opposite viewpoints.
