The world is created with a system named FuXi, after the culture hero in Chinese mythology credited for the invention of fishing and repopulation of humanity. The system combines an aquarium with a fish, a computer vision module for tracking the fish' movements, a visual display of the fish's image juxtaposed with graphical elements, a sound generation module and a set of hardware devices for controlling the system. By synchronising different visual elements (backgrounds, living creatures, man-made objects) to corresponding sounds, the performer defines the world in which the fish is immersed, gradually generating a fantastic audiovisual narrative in which the fish plays a leading role.
