Chao Bing: A Reading/Writing
December 15, 2023
Presented by CultureHub
Chao Bing: A Reading/Writing is a live reading, performance, and un-launch party for a game forever in its own making, writing, and rewriting.
The performance extends Chao Bing: A Read-Only Memory Experience, a web-based interactive memoir in the style of a 90s CD-ROM storybook game by CultureHub Resident Artist Jackie Liu that exists indefinitely in demo form. Named after a stir-fried scallion pancake dish from the artist’s childhood, the game explores memory, care, and transformation through the act of creation. What does it mean to make a game? To want to write over what’s read-only? To look at cycles, break them, and perhaps chop and stir fry them too?
Play Chao Bing: A Read-Only Memory Experience here!
Chao Bing: A Reading/Writing was developed in the CultureHub Residency Program.
