A daring experiment of visual music and organic technologyIt started from the fabrication of digital hubs but, has it turned out it will make you feel like having an intimate hug, such is the chemistry coming from the new media performance "Digital Hug". The Hong Kong musician/artist GayBird and his group of "musical frankensteins" developed a series of custom-made musical instruments that will be played in synchronisation with interactive images in the live performance.

This production emphasizes on "new instruments for new music". GayBird is intended to explore the feasibility and performance capacity of electronic music in live. The visual and sound effects put away the common concept that electronic music is icy cold. In Digital Hug where warmth would touch the audience' hearts and where the vitality of integrated electronic music will be genuinely shown.
