The popular boy group member Anson Lo (Lu Hanting) sang the song "Megahit" to the street, and used a lot of electronic music elements to join the dance music. It turns out that electronic music can also be integrated into art and technology, becoming the material for the school's future STEAM education .

In recent months, the Hong Kong Arts Festival held an on-campus demonstration tour for a special 50th anniversary program. Through local creators, the ordinary school auditorium was transformed into an art performance venue where light, shadow and sound were intertwined, emphasizing that the performance would break the traditional opera or classical art model. , so that students can "hear, see, and touch", and in the future, they can learn programming and become self-taught through STEM courses.

Arriving at 20 schools, some of the tour performances can only be recorded and broadcast during the epidemic

To tie in with the Hong Kong Arts Festival's performance of an opera "Lana" that combines innovative technology and art, the organizer invited different local artists to use 3 projectors, music microcomputers, sprayers, 360 loopback stereo sound and other installations to create A simplified version of the work "Beyond the Square" was released. From last year to the end of this month, it toured 20 middle schools. Among them, 18 school auditoriums were screened. Due to the epidemic, the remaining two could only watch recorded and broadcast clips.

The last performance was at Ho Man Tin Hong Kong Kai Ping Chamber of Commerce Middle School. The original bright auditorium was turned into a dark space after the windows were covered with curtains and the lights were turned off. The production team placed different installations around the performance, in the atrium and on the stage. The middle and second students watching the performance experienced an extraordinary immersive performance through the deafening electronic sound, artificial white fog and the light and shadow lines combined with the projector, and the physical artist created a resistance transformation interactive mode by touching the device.

After the performance, the team introduced and demonstrated the interactive modes of various installations to the students present, allowing them to understand how to achieve the special effects through computer programming.

Producer: Let students see, hear, and touch

Team producer Zhong Weixin said that many schools are promoting STEM courses, and this performance just happened to make a "lazy bag" to let students understand how art can be combined with innovation and technology. I can feel it”, or I don’t know what it is without explanation. Most of the technology used in this performance is included in the school curriculum... The sound of music affects the signal, and then affects the light and shadow of the projector. Touching affects another thing, all of which are based on programming, and these major elements are all learned in the middle school curriculum.”

He further explained that using the location of the auditorium is to break the conventional space used by students and induce their curiosity to explore, "I hope that the students will feel that a familiar scene, in the school auditorium, can become an immersive experience. The performance environment. I have been to many schools, especially the boys' school, and the students have been whispering all the way, clicking and clicking, they are very curious." When the performance ended , the team then invited students to demonstrate, gradually uncovering the mystery in the performance artifact, and understanding how technology is used in art.

The epidemic affects the ecological development of the art world

He believes that the epidemic has affected the entire artistic ecology. In the past, audiences "sit down for 3 bells and don't allow depression" to focus on the effect on the stage, but instead combine technological interaction to open up new specifications. One direction, but it can be performed one-on-one with the artist facing a screen, or through the form of broadcasting, shooting from different angles and doing live webcasts, 𠵱The contact surface of the family is larger, and art traditionally will only become more and more fun , become something that can be played, watched, and touched.” He hopes that the new generation will appreciate art through a new perspective, or become a part of the future.

Chen Denan, the principal of the Kaiping Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, said that the school has been promoting the development of STEM, and even set up special classrooms to introduce hydroponics and programming. In the scene, (using the auditorium) to immerse himself in the sound effect, the students all mentioned that the eardrum felt the vibration. The vibration is beyond the description of the pen and ink, so this point is very important. People who have played music but don’t know technology, it seems that they have played with patterns and paths, and it will have a positive effect on the combination of technology and music.”

Actor Gu Dingxuan serves as the outreach ambassador to exchange views with students

"Lana" outreach ambassador and actor Gu Dingxuan was assigned to two of the schools to attend the event to exchange views with the students. He said that he is happy to learn art and technology with local young new media artists, and to perform this highly creative sensory interplay Bring it into the school, let the students feel the charm of the combination of art and technology on the spot.

STEM refers to an educational framework that combines Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, while STEAM has an additional "A" word, which means adding Art to help children build innovative thinking , problem-solving, logical reasoning and other abilities, while allowing students to further transform from possessing knowledge to possessing logical concepts and aesthetics.

SEN schoolchildren suspended classes and changed to online classes under the epidemic, and the results were low. Parents spent more than 20,000 yuan per month on outsourcing treatment and training. The inter-school chorus festival was held online under the epidemic. Enterprise CEO Hong Kong children team up to win third place in the world
