true /本当のこと

肌電感應接連感官以外的可能真實
new sensory perception for possible realities

所謂真實，就是經由瞳孔接收到腦袋的那個？
外在的真實，真的客觀存在？還是一直被我們有限感官所曲解？又或是被社會潛移默化的塑造出來？

探索腦袋與感官以外的真實，10位日本先端藝術家，包括來自蠢貨、発条卜、rhizomatiks、Softpad 、DGN及VPP的成員走在一起，進行了一次跨越新媒體、科技、劇場與舞蹈的實驗。

透過介面技術，配合肌電感應系統接連表演者身體，捕捉表演者的微細肌肉反應，以最直接的觸感，帶動聲音、燈光、機械及映像作出即時變化。《true /本当のこと》一個聲音、光影、動態、映像同步一體的演出，一次感官新體驗。

「作品不但引發哲性思考，演出最優秀之處更在於高科技的運用。作品透視事物因與果的清晰思辨，全賴導演與演出者成功營造的氛圍，不止於利用燈光、聲效去配合與舞者，而是連貫一體的美學。」 - 美國《danceviewtimes》，Tom Phillips (2008)

Can you believe in what you haven't seen? Or, can you not to believe in what you saw?
Is Reality about something what you can see, what you know, or what you are brought up to believe?

Exploring the relationship between the brain, our sensory perception and the reality we face, True is an exceptional collaboration among 10 cutting-edge Japanese artists across digital media, technology, theatre and dance. They are members of the groups Dumb Type, AbsT, rhizomatiks, Softpad, DGN and VPP.

Through the interfacing technology and the use of myoelectric sensors attached to the performers' bodies, which provide real-time triggers for sound, mechatronics, lights and video, True creates a completely synchronous, and totally new sensory experience.

"Whatever the philosophical merits of the piece, its real strength is in the melding of high technology with performance. The cause-and-effect conundrum is clear because the performers and directors have worked together to craft an environment that is not just lights and sounds accompanying dancers, but an aesthetic continuum."
– Tom Phillips, danceviewtimes, USA (2008)
