In this immersive audio-visual performance screening, artificial intelligence meets virtual consciousness and together, we see humanity through non-human A.I. eyes. Using music, imagery, and light design, Machine Folklore is a glimpse into the infinite possibilities of the future of digital culture and virtual technology in this hypnotic audio-visual work.

Software2050 and NAXS FUTURE are interdisciplinary new media art collectives from Taiwan. Their practice focuses on experimental creations that take audiences into the metaverse, exploring the forefront of the digital world and the infinite possibilities of future aesthetics.

NAXS investigates the dialectic relation between posthuman mythology and animism ritual practices, creating its fictional framework for the internet society. With their experimental development of contemporary interfaces, such as virtual reality, immersive theater, audio-visual performances, installations, and webpage, each of NAXS’s works is a unique attempt to explore the boundary of embodied experiences and digital migration.

They have been awarded the first prize in the Digital Art Performance Award with the VR theater production Render Ghost and presented the piece at Ars Electronica in Austria, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, and the Times Art Museum in Beijing. In collaboration with experimental musician Meuko! Meuko! In the audio-visual project Ghost Island, they’ve made the opening performance for Transmediale (DE) and toured over twenty countries, including Sónar (HK), Primavera Sound (ES), and Hyperreality (AT). NAXS also collaborated with renowned brands, such as NETFLIX, HTC, and fashion designer Angus Chaing.

The Myrtle Sisters have just arrived from 1921 via a time machine. They were travelling about, collecting, learning and sharing historical songs and dance hits from the 20s, 30s and 40s when something went wrong! Can the time machine be fixed?

Since they’ve never been this far in the future, the sisters decide to perform their numbers and collect their data. In an artistic exchange with the audience of the millennium, they trade dance crazes such as the Charleston and the Shim-sham for ones from the current times.

In a story of independence and togetherness, the sisters learn that they don’t always have to agree, but that they are stronger when they support each other. Will the Myrtle Sister’s ever learn to get along? Can the audience help them harmonize once again and get back to 1919?

vAct is committed to fostering the next generation of Asian Canadian creators. The MSG Lab facilitates the creation and development of new theatrical work by emerging and mid-career Asian Canadian artists. The 2023 cohort had the opportunity to design an individual process to develop their new work, while receiving support from a personalized dramaturg through a series of six writers’ seminars and two creation residencies.

MSG Lab has two streams: New Play and New Experimental Work. The new play stream is for playwrights who work in tradition-al text based creation modalities writing theatrical plays. The experimental work stream is for creators who make new work through devising, in-studio practices, and hybrid modalities. In this stream the work does not necessarily have to produce a traditional ‘script’.
