IMUU (Weilu Ge x Kelon Cen) is an artist collective based in Boston and Montreal that utilizes light as paint and music as dialogue to create an episodic narrative about a futuristic dystopia. The team consists of animator, composer, directors and creative technologists doing experiments in creative expressions via VR/AR, interactivity, and performance in transformative physical or virtual spaces.

FEED

Combining video game elements, spatial soundscape, and transmedia storytelling, FEED is a fulldome playthrough video that takes the audience on an immersive audiovisual journey in a panopticon-like complex. While a tracking apparatus constantly scans and monitors everything in the space as if an autonomous being with many eyes, the audience plays the role of a computer mouse, a curious listener and user walking on a long scrolling feed, passing by various characters in their internet cubicles, and potentially getting lost in this internet labyrinth full of joyful colors and sound events.
The experience consists of multiple layers of audiovisual narratives. Each click, movement, and interaction leaves behind a trail that is constantly being monitored, analyzed, and used to feed the digital ecosystem. The multi-eyed robot at the panopticon's heart symbolizes the relentless surveillance mechanism, reflecting the multitude of platforms, apps, and services that constantly monitor our digital lives. It underscores the non-linear narrative of our digital existence, where past actions influence the present and shape potential futures.
The project aims to construct an immersive and interactive environment that invites the audience to critically observe and question their everyday living situation in a post-digital age.
