Abstract

The 2023 White Paper on the Mental Health of Urban Residents in China has highlighted that the fast-paced and high-stress urban lifestyle negatively affects the physical and mental health of people living in cities. Addressing issues such as anxiety and depression has become a growing concern for society as a whole. In recent years, digital technology has been employed to develop physical and mental healing art installations, combining art and technology features. These installations use so?ware and hardware to offer unique sensory experiences to participants. This study aims to explore the design of an immersive digital art experience using the sound of birds chirping at dawn to create a healing effect. Real-time audio recordings of the birds' dawn chorus will be used to create dynamic visual images through sound visualization design. The digital art installation, called "The Dawn Chorus," will be placed in a public indoor space with low noise interference, making it easily accessible to the public daily. The installation will use visual and auditory sensory resonance to provide a unique and immersive digital art experience that can help alleviate physical and mental stress. The effective ness of the installation healing function will be evaluated using randomized interviews and a subsequent quantitative assessment. This study utilizes digital media art to create an open-ended scenario for physical and mental healing in daily life, introducing new perspectives and methods to healing among urban residents.
