Lulu X

Lulu Wang

“Lulu X is an avatar that expresses human experience and discusses identities and belonging. By exploring multiple existences through the physical body and technology, the possibilities of self-awareness can be transformed into different forms.

Engaging wearable 3D-printed sculptures, a sound sensor system, garments and movement, intangible emotions are expressed through a soundscape composed of the body and choreography.

Performances were commissioned by Whitechapel Gallery x East London Art Prize and Flux Projects x Blok.”

From Lulu Wang

For this project, I developed both hardware and software solutions. I made two ESP32-based systems, attached to the performer’s wrists, which wirelessly transmit accelerometer data to an Max/MSP patch. I created all of the audio used in the project, and used the accelerometer data to control various parameters of the Max/MSP software.
