Date: 28 April 2024
Where: The Lab, San Francisco

This April at The Lab in San Francisco, our very own Director of Programs at Leonardo/ISAST, Vanessa Chang, will be featured as a guest speaker following the premiere of Jen Liu's latest dance creation, GHOST__WORLD. This groundbreaking piece for four dancers delves into the spectral existence of lives ensnared in the global machinery of technology, drawing from firsthand interviews with electronics and e-waste workers in South China.

Under the direction of New York-based visual artist Jen Liu, GHOST__WORLD weaves a haunting narrative that blurs the lines between corporeal existence and digital representation. Through captivating choreography and the mesmerizing use of AR and projection mapping by Espii Studios, the performance challenges us to confront the ghosts of our digital age. Dancers Tracey Lindsey Chan, SanSan Kwan, Miche Wong, and Aine Dorman bring this evocative tale to life, prompting reflection on the invisible hands that shape our interconnected world.

Following the performance on Sunday, April 28, 2024, Vanessa will be in conversation with the artist for an evening that promises to challenge perceptions and ignite discussion in an exploration of the themes and implications of GHOST__WORLD. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the intersection of technology, art, and society.
