This project space is a creative site as well as a spatial interactive installation. Audiences can experience and witness the creative process of the interactive theatrical work "A Fool’s Paradise" from both the inside and outside, with the process itself being the artwork. The work explores the life cycle of interactive pieces, dynamic participation, and an open-ended approach that allows audiences to choose different perspectives and identities. At the same time, audiences can peer into the space through one-way mirrors or choose to enter the interactive units within, engaging in immersive audio-visual interactions by following voice prompts.

"BackStage Hacker" Laboratory Visitor Experience Guide

Welcome to the "BackStage Hacker" Laboratory, where the space within the mirrors is the dreamscape of our creations. Over the next 3 months, 8 cubic units will gradually appear. The 8 experiencers participating in the dream performance will drive the dream narrative forward and change the light-constructed scenes through vocalization. Currently, units 13 and 19, which have already been fully developed, are present in the space.

Experience Location: At the headsets on the outer white wall of the laboratory, or at the headsets of unit 13 inside the laboratory.

Experience Method: Changes in volume, rhythm, pitch, and duration of sounds will elicit responses in the lighting, altering its color, position, and intensity. Whisper, chant, or shout out loud; imitate sounds from nature, and explore the endless possibilities of voice. Let your vocalizations shape the dreamscape.
