“HASHTAG 3.0” is a multi-media performance project composed of a screen-dance piece, live performance, and audience engagement using social media.
The screen-dance piece describes the phenomenon on social media and the live performance describes how people are messed with social media in real life.
The audience can use their smartphone and react with emoticons on their talk app.
The emoticons work as commands for performers and the performance changes depending on which emoticons they choose.
This is an experimental performance project in which performers and the audience create the final form together.
