Generative Unravelling, composed of duo audio-visual installations, seeks to reimagine engagement with Miao piling embroidery—an ICH from Southwest China—amid tensions between its stagnation within academic silos and marginalisation by technological innovation. The project explores a mode of cultural engagement parallel to the original exhibition: embodied, multisensory, and experiential. It merges projection, AI-generated imagery, gesture-responsive generative algorithms, and ambient sound to transform tradition into hybrid art environments, inviting audiences' curiosity and reimagination.
