Description:

Water-Sleeves Speak is an interactive projection installation inspired by the expressive water sleeves in Peking Opera. The project transforms traditional sleeve movements into abstract digital visuals, inviting audiences to observe and imitate the gestures. Through interaction, viewers experience how movement becomes a language of emotion.

Water-Sleeves Speak 是一件受京剧水袖表演启发的互动投影装置作品。该项目将传统水袖动作转化为抽象的数字视觉语言，邀请观众进行观察与模仿。在互动过程中，观众得以体验肢体动作如何转化为表达情感的视觉语言。

Objective:

The objective of this project is to reinterpret a traditional cultural element through interactive media. By encouraging physical participation, the installation connects heritage performance with contemporary expression and allows audiences to explore emotion through movement.

本项目旨在通过互动媒介对传统文化元素进行再诠释。通过引导观众进行身体参与，装置将传统表演艺术与当代表达方式相连接，使观众在肢体动作中体验与探索情感的表达。

A total of five different emotions were selected for the audience to understand and learn, namely shocked, frightened, grieved, irritated and joyful. All of them were made into abstract videos for interactive display, and each emotion has its own unique color and freeze frame.

项目共选取了五种不同情绪供观众理解与学习，分别为震惊、惊恐、悲伤、烦躁与喜悦。每种情绪均被转化为抽象影像进行互动展示，并赋予独特的色彩与定格画面，以强化其情绪特征与视觉识别。
