DREAMSCAPE is a new, multimedia artistic attempt to integrate art and technology, incorporating video, sound, dance, theater, and live performance in order to capture true liveness and creativity. The main concept of the project was originally inspired by John Cage's Variations VII — one of the greatest performances in modern performing arts history — which was first performed in 1966 as part of a nine-evening concert series in New York. It was largely stochastic and of indeterminate length, making use of unrecorded, technologically-produced/electrically-amplified sound, and was the product of collaboration with artists from various fields of practice, including theater artists, dancers, musicians, and engineers.

In this project, we applied the principle of randomness to select the materials for the liveness of the performance. We therefore mainly used live sounds, real time audio processing, live video, and improvised dance and acting rather than rely upon pre-recorded media, choreographed dance, scripted acting, or any kind of prepared artistic material.
