Yuli Cai

waterFalse is an interactive installation based digital performance. It re-imagines and combines the ancient Chinese chime and Fou (缶, a percussion instrument) with this digital audio visual installation.

It is composed of four almost identical spinners called Fou by Yuli, each Fou has different sound textures and various interaction gestures. Within them, is a different amount of water, that gives waterFalse the ability to generate original and natural water sound as one of the main audio sources of this new interface of the instrument, surrounded and contained by other computer generated synthesized sounds while playing.

Using different pulling gestures during her performance, Yuli Cai gradually reveals different stories behind different Fous as different sound textures. It captures five sound elements together, which are Natural water sound, Panning wind sound, Monk singing, Simulation of matouqin sound (a two-string Mongolian instrument) and Female opera singing. Other than that, it also digs deeper into the relationship between water and this project, by using another existence form of water, mist. While playing one of the Fous, it will activate the unique mist blowing out of it. The mist becomes visible by spilling the rear projection on it. Combining with reactive led surrounded on each Fou, it creates a sensory, mysterious as well as peaceful feeling among its audience.

The name waterFalse is coming from an ancient Chinese instrument called Fou, which has the same pronunciation of the meaning false in Chinese. More about Yuli

Jen Kagan

whatisit.tech, a website Jen made in spring 2017, hosts workshops for two audiences: activists who want to understand what kinds of web technologies can support their organizing; and tech people who want to understand how the history of technology relates to contemporary social movements.

Jen is continuing to develop the thinking that inspired whatisit.tech as a technologist at Coworker.org, a laboratory for workers to experiment with power-building strategies in a 21st century economy.

Collaborations with and support from many people and organizations including the ITP research residency, Processing Foundation, Media Democracy Fund, and Outreachy have made Jen’s work possible.
