Technical Implementation and Artistic Expression Characteristics of Multimedia Electronic Music Creation in China

Based on the past competitions, performances and exhibited works of the Beijing International Electronic Music Festival, this paper analyzes and interprets the Chinese multimedia electronic music works from technology and art. It categorizes these works into three types based on their creative technical methods means: unidirectional audio-visual creation, bidirectional audiovisual creation, and immersive audio-visual creation. We analyze the artistic characteristics of these works from the perspectives of media symbols and audio-visual symbols. With the development of 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, Chinese electronic music continuously extends to other art forms for cross-disciplinary integration. In retracing traditional arts, it constantly derives new, subversive forms of musical artistic expression. © 2024 First Dai Shan Shan et al.
