Critique 3 - Content Acquisition

Traditions are important because they provide continuity between generations. It can be difficult to keep up with extended family members these days, and of course it is impossible to touch those who are long gone. But traditions create a bridge between the young and the old, between the past and the present. Besides that, the value of a tradition is not in completing the ritual; the value comes from what it provides for those who participate. To judge the values of Chinese Puppeteering, it is considered of how many participants to watch the show rather than a completely and perfect performance but non-participants. To make this tradition more interesting and attract people to explore more is the objective of this project.

Whispering Pines 10

"performed in a multimedia environment of 3-channel video incorporating interactive "live animation" techniques, hacked objects, and original electronic music."

This is interesting and inspired me to work on my topic which is chines puppet show. With live animation, user can use hands or body movements to do tracking to make puppets lively with different actions. Hacked objects can be use as a metaphor when puppet is sad/angry and so on to play around the expression/emotions.
