dc.description.abstract | The City Speaks tells a story about an urbanite’s daily life in a city where everything transforms from physical elements to symbols through a three dimensional projected animated video. Referring to people’s navigational process in global cities, this animation coveys the tacit agreement between urbanites’ movements and communication with their environments without using text-based language. Zhang Zhang represents her understanding of city life through visual language based on her experience of living in Shanghai and other international cities. She responds to the global unification of urbanization using combination of traditional Chinese art and digital animation skills. | en_US |
