Jasmine FAN
Jasmine Fan is a Paris-based choreographer, performer, and curator working across dance, film, and digital media. She holds degrees in Dance and Film from NTUA (Taiwan) and an MFA in Film from HFBK Hamburg. Her work explores how digital perspectives reshape bodily language, often integrating immersive media and technology to investigate themes like perception, identity, and the virtual-physical threshold.
She is the founder of TANZAHOi International Festival and was artist-curator-in-residence at Cité des Arts x CND Paris (2022). Her awards include the stART grant from Claussen-Simon-Stiftung and the 2025 dépARTS residency from Claussen-Simon-Stiftung x Fondation Fiminco.
Key works include COLOR色 (2023), combining radar and real-time visuals to explore surveillance; BARDO (2021), a dual-site piece inspired by Tibetan liminality; and MUDRA, reflecting on cultural gesture codes. Fan continues to develop cross-disciplinary works at the intersection of dance, philosophy, and new media.
Project Description – Touch Movement 空流
During her residency at Fondation Fiminco, Jasmine Fan will develop Touch Movement 空流, an interdisciplinary project centered on the concept of “dance as design.” The project explores how intangible forces can be translated into embodied and sensory experiences.
By integrating millimeter-wave radar sensors with real-time visual programming (such as TouchDesigner), the work visualizes invisible energies—such as bodily flow, vibrations, and sound frequencies—into spatial and perceptual phenomena.
A key collaborator in this project is musician and sound artist Akram Hajj, whose work focuses on low-frequency vibration and experimental sound.
Together, they will initiate a performative dialogue between sound waves and bodily energy—where the dancer responds to vibrations in the sound field, and the sound is in turn shaped by the dancer’s movement and sensor-driven data. This creates an interactive system of mutual influence and real-time feedback.
Inspired by Buddhist philosophy and quantum physics, Touch Movement examines transformation, perception, and states of being. It further explores how dance can be transformed into a design language—one that activates space and generates interactive relational environments.
During the residency, Jasmine Fan will work with Akram Hajj and media artists to develop interactive installations and choreographic systems. The project will culminate in a final presentation that combines exhibition and performance, guiding the audience into a hybrid sensory environment shaped by body, sound, and light.
