Ice Cream Discourse is a mixed-media installation. This project developed from artist’s  experimental video work, The first United Ice Cream Assembly closes today, which was completed during the pre-pandemic in 2020. In an enclosed space, the immersive installation invites audience to multi-sensory experience: the visuals, the acoustics, and the olfactories. Artist combined static video, live streaming news, found-object-based sculptures and scent together to enrich the context of the imaginary ice cream world. The static video and the news live streaming plays together. The former is set to a higher volume, but audiences could hear the sound from the live streaming more clearly when the static video goes to a 30 seconds silent transition before the next loop.

The interactive space-time experience blurs the boundary between reality and virtuality, creating a fictional narrative which explores the distance between real life and media representations, and our insecurity and lost of control during pandemic crisis and social-political unrest.
