“OXYMORON” is an interactive performing arts project which combines dance and visual installation in trip-hop music. The project is a collaboration among four duos, each of which is known for their distinctive performance in popular events around the city in DJ, VJ, hip hop dance and ballet dance. OXYMORON represents a journey in which two opposite sides of one's self-identity try to live together and complete each other. On the other hand, it will reflect the way one looks at themselves and their relationship with the world through music, dance and visual.

At once art exhibition and video installation, this digital artwork explores the fine and increasingly blurred line between reality and the virtual world. A different dimension of time and space could lie behind the door. Might it be Nirvana? Determining what is real and what is not is key as the work explores how in the digital age most urban spaces exist both off- and online, real life relationships and virtual encounters are forever changing and tangible and online spaces are increasingly hard to separate. So what lies behind this door?

Hau Dong is a traditional rite of Vietnam. In this ritual, one who plays the gods govern the different areas in the land of Vietnam. In the video, I collaborated with Artist Ngoc Nau and recorded her movements to three dimension depth footage and transform her image to wire-frame with connected dots. The result as you can see now is a digital illusion of Ngoc performed Hau Dong dance. The mix of real and unreal material ( by Hologram ) raised the question of the existence of the old values.

Ownership. Zero is a commentary on the production and experience of “real” objects in the digital age of consumerism. A portrait of the artist exists in three forms from conception to production: first as a digital rendering displayed on an LED screen; second as a hologram; and third as a 3D printed object. In this digital landscape, nowhere is the artist’s ‘hand’ involved in the making of the work. Ownership. Zero looks at the continually blurring line between our experience of the virtual and physical realms.

This was my video installation at Centre Intermondes during Springtime Delights Festival in La Rochelle - France. The installation tells the story of the boy with his friend were chasing the mysterious box, which also contain their identities.

The Knowledge Box 2014 Wall - Painting, Projection mapping.



When the wire-frame object breaks the space in the middle angle of the installation, a new dimension is formed. In this arrangement, the white strokes painted randomly in motion follows the position of the viewer as they enter the installation space. The line was moving forward, like the Millennium Falcon with its “Warp Speed” jump. The effect placed on a pre-rendered video, description of spatial transformation - confidence - the universe and ends with the Eye. PROGRESSIVE - the Innovation is vision. When you have a vision, you will know where your future belong to.

PROGRESSIVE Is Your Vision 2016 Audio Visual Installation, Motion capture, Projection mapping.



SAMSALIGHT is the combination of Samsara + Light This lighting - Audio- Visual installation represented the " Samsara" of knowledge. If you share your knowledge, you will receive more than what you expected. It also inspired from the famous quote of Dalai Lama : “Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality."

With a taste of buddhism in VJing art style, Crazy Monkey continues to develop his concept with the aim to transform the performance stage into a religious milieu. On the other side Tri Minh is rediscovering his belief in music through his experimental ambient sound. Together in this performance, they combine those elements and catch the factor in-between, the midpoint.

ECHOZEN 2015 Audio Visual Performance.



My VJing performance with DJ Jean Du Voyage during my practice in Springtime Delight festival - France. The idea of the installation based on the Pyramid shape, which also a religion object, a gate to another world.

My VJing performance with DJ Netik during my practice in Springtime Delight festival - France. I start exposing the parallelism between the AV console area of a night club and the area of the altar in worship places. Almost always the console is very similar to an altar, in front of the audience, lifted respect to the dance- floor, the point from where the collective ritual is officiated, leaded by a priest, a performer directing the ceremony, and articulating its sequences and timing.

My VJing performance with DJ DemonSlayer in Monsoon Music Festival. Taking advantage of the large LED screen panels, I put those Buddhism pictures up there to turn the stage into a religion space and the performance became a religious ritual.

A dialogue between the living body of a dancer and computer graphics effects. I always enjoy seeing the bright streaks running on the body, creating a virtual life on the other living entity.

The project exposes the beauty of both the human body's language and the digital arts language. It also unveils the results of my latest experimenting with Kinect camera.
