Artist Statement
FEED is an interactive installation that explores the notion of the self and the fragmented existence of bodies and sensorium. Combining video game elements, spatial soundscape, and transmedia storytelling, FEED takes the audience on an immersive audiovisual journey in a panopticon-like complex. While a tracking apparatus constantly scans and monitors everything in the space as if an autonomous being with many eyes, the audience plays the role of a computer mouse, a curious listener and user walking on a long scrolling feed, passing by various characters in their internet cubicles, and potentially getting lost in this internet labyrinth full of joyful colors and sound events.

About the artists
Weilu Ge is a composer and intermedia artist based in Los Angeles. She works with various media, from concert music to innovative technology. Weilu’s works often involve collaboration with artists working in video, photography, choreography, and other media. Since 2015, she has focused her research and career on experimental and intermedia theater in the role of a Composer-Director, exploring the potential of sound as the medium that integrates other art forms and helps create a comprehensive artistic expression. Weilu’s works have been influenced primarily by Musique concrète and the notion of Gesamtkunstwerk, which guides her exploration in the concept and layout of space in the theater.
Kelon Cen has worked in many forms of media, from traditional academic art paintings to digital animation and programming. He has explored animation in film and digital forms along with its integration into video installation, dome, and theater projection.
“Fluidity” is the word to describe his mastery of the smooth lines in his calligraphy and paintings, the animation of metamorphosis and body movement, and sound-driven editing. His works are influenced by surrealism and have been exhibited in various festivals, including Electronic Language International Festival in São Paulo, Animamix Biennale in Hong Kong, Japan Media Arts Festivals, etc.
