Xin Ong

i2

i-square (i2) is a live performance art installation. This early creative development bridges the gap between artist and audience by engaging members of the audience as co-creators in the improvised work. i2 incorporates dance improvisation with interactive visual and sound design. The development is taking place between June-October 2022 with support through PSAS. i2 speaks to the unspoken influence of the audience on artists making art, and offers commentary on the way technology is shaping the way we connect to art.
