What is it about?
This paper discusses an immersive and interactive art installation called Southern Wind Algorist. It combines ideas from different fields, blending media arts, Chinese studies, and gay and lesbian studies. The installation uses nine famous computer graphics algorithms and nine gay stories written in classical Chinese, creating a unique artwork that has never been seen before. The paper discusses the related works, the cultural background of the stories, how the visual effects connect with the themes, the methods used, how the public reacted, the technical details, and the sustainability of the artwork. It also looks at issues with language and visual accessibility.
