Synopsis

A journey into Zones of Flow

Zones of Flow is an on-going practice-based research project that investigates flows of actions in mediated environments. Through a series of media artworks, this project explores human perception, media ecologies and their relationship with environments. Using three artworks (i. video walk; ii. AV experiment; and iii. light-reactive installation) and a series of collaborative workshops, I will critically reflect on the conceptual framework of the project, the creative processes, and the ecological implications of media art production.
