few years ago I found my hand I was
standing on the London stage and keeping
my performance party onesie during the
performance I acted out the role of two
lovers saying farewell in impossible
love situation facing the avatar on
screen I was acting our female robber
dressed up
Korean costume but my male lover was on
screen avatar with my voice
Geneva’s performance something
unexpected happened my voice and body
started shaking I was weeping it was not
acting I was so embarrassed by human
tears in front of live audience but I
couldn’t stop crying there was a
something overwhelming in this situation
to relationship between culture body and
my actual body I grew up in Korean
confusion society with rigid rules
constraints suppressed emotion for women
in my title with my avatar I fell I said
I’m having farewell with my potential
self on that screen there was a longing
and conflict between my multiple version
of stealth deep located in different
reality social spiritual material in
material actual virtual
after the performance with all these
tears I feel strange sense of relief as
if something cloud had melted away and
this incident gave me idea my
can be used for exploration of multiple
selves an emotional release and it may
work for people older than me then I
realized this emotional epiphany is
Korean culture called Han and I found
harm after a few years in a more amazing
community of older adults here in
Richmond who taught me Han is a
springboard to jump up for
transformation so what is Han Han is
Korean emotional paradox it is extreme
state of grief caused by physical or
mental constraints but on the other hand
it is a great hole and strong desire for
overcoming the situation seemingly
impossible
honey the diverse interpretations and
let me give you example of how I
understand it imagine yourself in wide
open field and saying farewell with
someone you deeply love can you maintain
your gaze as your love disappear over
the horizon your heart is breaking your
heart is breaking with every step as
your love walk away
however pilot on your love becomes a
pretty bit of shadow and disappear over
the horizon your trials may dry out and
you may notice entire field including
yourself you’ll love sky and earth as a
one who picture one field different
state of consciousness can emerge
transforming your tears through infinite
process of hoping longing
and loving however our contemporary
version of Paris I’m still much quicker
and easier without much feelings or pain
turning your back right away from your
lost love lost ourselves lost dreams
especially in America we are encouraged
to be positive and optimistic to be
successful member of society but often
in denial real issue without confronting
difficulties saying everything is fine
this kind of passive optimism does not
promote change or growth hum explains my
relationship with virtual body and
virtual reality in a paradoxical
conflict between human and machine
acknowledging struggle in a state of
grief
my emotional position of humanizing
technology hum has been usually
considered negatively since it’s
associated with sad filling but I have
dedicated to find Han beyond the
cultural boundaries as a source for
change and I’ve seen it in people who
has been isolated discriminated
suppressed or there is not hurt and this
is especially true of older adults here
in the United States for me older adults
has a ham in their conflicts between
multiple selves aging body a jealous
body their AngelList self is jumping up
from material constraints of physical
body with new expectation and
transformation
however our society see aging so
negatively and see our older adults
powerless to challenge this perception
since 2014 I have worked with aging
population in my voicing under project
its Abbott a live review platform for
older adults last year we had 10 like
review sessions happen at Katyn Terre
senior living
we provided 8 avatars with different
genders and ages and the resident faced
the avatar on screen and they speak
through the avatar lip synching their
speech and mirroring their body movement
when they’d home the emotional story
we provided visuals and sound just
responding to their feelings to promote
their emotional memories beautiful
things has happened
a lady person to tears at the end of her
father story a gentleman made a
conversation with female avatar
his elementary school teacher and he
tried to hug her physically on screen
and after its storytelling without any
exception the storyteller was surrounded
by crowd
artist resident and stabbed with
empathetic connection when I first visit
the seniors and terror I was not sure I
can even interact and communicate with
the people in community I’m a very shy
and anxious person and it is
unbelievable I’m standing here on this
stage
in front of this many people of you but
after experience of this project I
realized my shyness can turn into
emotional sensitivity my anxiety can
transform into deep empathy and
communication jumping from haha thank
you for all the resonance that at gate
interest in your living helping me to
realize this lesson for teaching me hum
can be transnational transcultural trans
ratio and it can help us to communicate
far beyond the boundaries after this
project my perspective about all the
adults shifted from thinking they need
my help to realizing that they could
help me at you let me share with you one
of the very best example of mahon
happened when our system started
malfunction during miss assist
storytelling
she tried to touch her heart saying in
my heart due to the lack of detection
and sensor avatar couldn’t follow this
section she tried all possible poses
including avatar ever pose impossible
for human joy and she and heart many
times an eventual Sudha from the chair
and hoping for better detection finally
after teaming with similar action
touching heart hugging or kissing we
couldn’t make it happen naturally in our
system yet but there was a beauty in the
struggle making us human we’ve learned
how important to express our feelings
and heart in our story mrs. C end up
crying at the end by expressing emotion
in full capacity
even if technology was incomplete and
not who up
reading imagine again yourself having
farewell with someone you’re deeply
loved and you have two choices let you
love leave as quickly as possible
turning your back or closing your eyes
or you can fully celebrate the entire
process of farewell you might be
emotionally overwhelmed but experiencing
all this struggle will take you to
another dimension with the New Hope’s
new dreams new potential this is our
virtual reality this is our
transformation this is our hand
