REXPERIENCE

“I recommend the experience. It’s not that it is the most amazing show I’ve seen, but the sofa, huge room, sound design and visuals make up for an overall very enjoyable experience! I strongly recommend.”

“Short but fun - great venue. We saw Lucid loop and enjoyed it a lot - saw xprmt next day and it was ok. Recommend lucid loop.”

“Went to rexperience that day, I went for both XPRMNT and Lucid Loop and had a mixed feeling about them, I’m actually feeling happy to see artists started experimenting on this kind of Digital Art, and Frankly I think some of the scene is graphically decent, but on the other hand I feel a bit dissapointed and I think the ticket is too expensive for such experience? Here’s some of my honest ( just my own ) opinion. So basically the whole Rexperience is a kind of “movie” experience where you sit and enjoy the projected Art , where the projected artwork extends to the audience area, which is quite nice for the first few minutes. However I think what’s lacking for this is, the artwork is basically a loop of scenes where there is no apparent storyline and after a while you get bored from just sitting there. I get it it’s an immersive experience. But i think if it’s that case I would prefer it to have more interaction with the audience, like intteractive art or maybe the audience can just walk around rather than sitting there (sorry but I have to compare this experience from the one I had from TeamLab), because the ticket is not cheap right. So I guess it would be better if the visual is more narrative so that the viewers wont start looking at their phones half way. I think Lucid Loop has very decent graphic but like what I said, after 10 minutes you mind will start drifting away, but it brings you to a strange world (yet you might find something familiar in an abstract way) which I fine it quite interesting. I personally find the XPRMNT a bit boring. Firstly the scenes are obviously 3D scanned point clouds from real world but I guess that’s not an issue. The theme is about body movement, I was expecting it to be interactive to movement, but I later found out there was supposed to be dancer but not on that day I went, so with the lacking of drancer the dancing figure on the screen became a distraction of the scene. And I think another big problem in this artwork is that nothing else in the scene relates to the theme “body movement” apart from the body figure, which I think can be perceived as superficial and lack of depth and layers. Since the scene are scanned point clouds can those particle interact or changed with the movement? And also in my opinion the switching of scenes is too sudden and lack subtlety. And I can’t really relate those scenes, why are the places chosen? And what exactly are the body movement trying to tell in those scenes? But with all that being said, I still appreciate artists who contributed to Rexperience because I don’t see many things like this around. Cheers 😄”
