Dinner party provides an ambience where people meet and interact with Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”-inspired creatures hiding in the shadows. There are a chair, a table and a table setting for one person’s dinner. When an audience starts his dinner, the table becomes the interactive platform between him and the imaginary creatures that are living under the shadow. They move from plate’s shadow to other shadows, scatter or hide in between. When the audience waits enough, the creatures to reveal themselves and audience can read the poem of “Jabberwocky”.
In the solitary modern society, an imaginary friend is able to make us no longer lonely. Among our everyday meaningless gestures, dining is routine and shared experience. Through tabletop technology and computer vision, audiences face magical moment encountering imaginary creatures in dining. "Meaningless" everyday gestures become "meaningful" when audiences enter new relationship.
