Synopsis:

Seeking Peace is a 360 film that emulates how we are interpreting information in diverse and polarising ways within the virtual world. It features Joni Tan dancing to short snippets of soundscapes that were created by Crystal Goh using every day sounds from the park and home settings. These sounds were created as open sites of content where meaning could be contested.

Giving minimal context about their origins, Crystal posted each sound on a Facebook post with an invitation for anyone within her virtual community to express an interpretation.

These interpretations were further translated into three dance choreographies by Joni and performed in one cohesive 360 realm at Pasir Ris park as a contrast to the fragmented online realm. Seeking Peace was produced in collaboration with Cheng Shian Wen.

Ps: As the sounds are moving in 360, listening with a good pair of headphones/earphones will be quite nice. And if you have a Virtual Reality headset to watch it with, you'd feel like you're in the film. If you don't have a VR headset, don't worry! You can scroll through the 360 scenes by moving the screen with your finger/cursor. Also, change your quality settings on YouTube to 2160s.
