Summary

The experimental video project Being Laser – Restless Limbs explores the interactions between light, human body, and technology. Synthesizing speculative research that combines contemporary utopias and ancient archetypes related to artificial lighting, it highlights the cross-influences between Western and East Asian cultures. This project combines computer-generated animated sequences (CGI) with real footage in China, Switzerland, and Italy. The animated sequences feature ethereal, luminous, and ever-changing avatars, brought to life using motion capture techniques.
