I will have different containers and different types of drink set up. When I drink each one of them, animations of flashbacks related to that particular drink would pop up. For instance, when I drink coffee, an animation of a cozy cafe in a nice afternoon would show, along with the atmospheric sound effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I want to achieve through this installation is that I want to convey a feeling of synesthesia, that you can almost hear and see the taste of a drink. In fact, the whole idea of this piece came from one of my  synesthesia experience. Due to COVID, I went back to my home country and stayed out of campus for a year and a half. And just when I had my first cup of DD Latte here, I felt the synesthetic deja vu. It was like a time travel back to pre-pandemic. Until then, I started to realize I almost forgot how much life was better back then. And I regret not cherishing those moments. So the drinks, each with a little flashback, is the museum of my under-appreciated memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artistic question: Is there any way I can make this whole installation more visually compelling (not just a few bottles of liquid lying on a plate and nothing else)? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took inspiration of this interactive piece from a short Makey Makey video.
