In response to Au Sow Yee & Chen Yow-Ruu (Her Lab Space)’s SAM commission work, Bad Dream Rocking a.k.a The Rocking Malay(a), this workshop offers a journey into the constructive history of moving images and the phantom power of its narrative. At the same time, it disenchants the maker and audience from being passive consumers of the image. Under the guidance of Au Sow Yee, audiences will learn how various devices used in the creation of moving images animate the spectators’ bodies through examples such as diorama, shadow play, zoetrope and magic lanterns. This workshop combines an artist talk with hands-on activities that involve optical toys, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage with the history of moving images in a playful and insightful manner.
This workshop is suitable for participants aged 16 years and above.
