Virtual Mandala | USA, 2015
​Directed by J. Cecilia Wu
​7 min

A multimedia live performance piece that explores the use of body movement and virtual imaging to enrich musical expression. This project combines an interactive 3D bimanual interface with a computer imaging application designed to graphically render and physically simulate the interactive construction and deconstruction of the ancient Tibetan Buddhist sand arts, called Mandala. Mandala, an agent of ancient arts and philosophy, uses technology to lure the next generation into traditional cultural practices, disrupting the boundaries between ancient arts and leading-edge interactive imaging technologies.

"Three Worlds, One Stage" demonstrates the positive power of multiculturalism through the lens of dance and music. It is a story of immigration, determination and hope - an American narrative at its core.
