The COVID-19 pandemic has severely hit art and cultural activities, and a large number of live performances have been forced to be suspended or postponed. Young music curators have seen their peers "no work, no experience, no trials" under the three conditions of "no work, no experience, no trials", imitating the expansion of the mobile game Pokémon GO Reality (AR in English) technology integrates three types of performances of music, drama and dance into 20 public housing estate scenes, including old housing estates that are more than half a century old and will be rebuilt and demolished. The public can open mobile apps anytime, anywhere Freely choose time and place to watch, it has become a new post-epidemic experience of "bring your mobile phone to tour".

The epidemic hits art performances
"In the past, I used to go out to perform more often. Basically, I would fly once a month. All the jobs in my family are not exposed!" Dong Zhijing, a 28-year-old curator who is engaged in erhu performance and researching local pre-war music, said in the second half of the epidemic.
She said that many students engaged in art performances or music performances, faced with the early stage of the epidemic, suspended their work due to the cancellation of all venues or public performances. At the same time, teaching in schools that originally accounted for a significant proportion of income should also be suspended in response to online classes. , As a result, the work was almost cleared throughout the year, and it has not yet fully recovered.
When she practiced alone behind closed doors, she began to think about the living space of her individual and industry, and learned from other industries' practices of making good use of virtual technology under the epidemic, and conceived a "mobile game" model that combines on-site reality and performance virtualization.
Apply for funding to create an AR technology platform
Chi Ching successfully applied for 300,000 yuan of funding from the Arts Development Council's "Arts Go Digital Art Platform" project, then hired technology companies to build mobile apps, and recruited different types of performers, including Chinese music, Western music, Indian and Pakistani folk songs , Physical dance and drama, according to the cultural background and architectural characteristics, successfully contacted the Housing Association, matched the 5 housing estates under its jurisdiction, expressing the theme of epidemic and struggle, and then further expanded to 20 public housing estates, including two Housing estates that are about to disappear-completed in 1962, the first public housing estate in the Southern District, Yu Kwong Village, and Shau Kei Wan Ming Wah Building, which was included in the second phase of redevelopment. Each housing estate has five viewing spots and each spot has a sweeper. The code notice board, as long as the public downloads and uses the dedicated mobile phone app, scans the QR code and then selects the performance format, the estate space can be transformed into a real-time scene and stage to watch different types of art programs without being affected by time, epidemics or the number of venues The restraint of the upper limit.

Hope to attract more performers and venues in the future
"AR technology uses a semi-realistic environment, which means a performance is virtualized, but a scene is a reality. In many physical performances, it is not possible to perform (cases)... 𠵱A method to use AR can be used wisely. Technology can then be seen from any location, audiences can watch art performances anytime, anywhere, and can be used by downloading an app in the community, which is very convenient." Dong Zhijing hopes that this time a public venue will be opened for broadcasting. The art performance platform can be promoted to more locations in the future, and more art workers are willing to record performances, so that the public is no longer restricted to watching performances in the venues, so that the art is more "close to the ground", "the reason for the art gallery in the sky" And the purpose is to put it back in the community, to reach the grassroots level, and hope that they can experience the joy and fun of art through this activity."
