Abstract
The Ming Shan Digital Experience is an immersive installation designed to support meditation in the context of a new Taoist center. Its creation confronted current academic literature on digital technology for meditation with the practical and cultural requirements of Taoist practice. Quantitative and qualitative learnings show the effectiveness of multimodal biofeedback on individual and collective meditative experience. Now instated in the Taoist center, the installation opens new perspectives for combining digital technology with ancient practice.
