靈感來自客家祭祀祈福古禮,以白米排出土地龍神的傳統習俗。藝術家將白米龍延伸為體感互動作品,數位動態粒子取代白米,VR 360虛擬空間取代科儀道壇。觀眾可揮舞VR手把指揮米龍舞動,扣動板機打散米龍,米龍會再慢慢回復聚集,象徵龍神信仰的生生不息。透過作品探索客家文化與數位科技的結合、人與傳統信仰之間新的互動方式。

Inspired by the ancient Hakka ritual of land dragon worship for blessings, where white rice is arranged to represent the land dragon deity, the artist has transformed this tradition into an interactive kinetic experience. Digital dynamic particles replace the white rice, and a 360-degree virtual space substitutes the ritual altar. Viewers can use VR controllers to direct the rice dragon’s movements, dispersing it by pulling the trigger and watching it gradually regroup, symbolizing the enduring nature of the dragon deity religion. This work explores the fusion of the Hakka culture and digital technology, offering new interactive ways between people and traditional religion.
