久遠的未來，人類可以將記憶轉移到Operator上...
Operator是一種機器人，他能繼承人的記憶，卻無法繼承感情
Operator的出現，讓人們可以在生命結束後，繼續完成未了的心願
只要向政府申請，有正當的理由，就可以進行轉移

Cytus 是一個輔助Operator維持正常行為的系統
無法產生感情的Operator在承接了記憶後
對自我屬於人性的部分會產生矛盾，最終會導致毀滅
Cytus是一台錄製人類感情的大型主機
在人轉移記憶前，會去將自己的情感錄入Cytus中
Operator也許模仿得出人類的行為，卻不一定模仿得出人性，在人性裡存在複雜的愛恨情仇中，
Operatorr究竟能否辨別清楚，而順利代替人類完成任務？

Code: Cytus  Multimedia X Video Games Live

By Divertimento Media

Code: Cytus is the latest performance creation of Divertimento Media in 2014. It together combines multimedia, music, theatre, interactive installation, exhibitions, dance, and video games, allowing the audience viewers to have an extraordinary viewing experience. A new concept of performance is thus boldly named as: Multimedia X Video Game Live.
Visualizing the abstracts, using dazzling images and sounds coming from all directions towards the audience, Code: Cytus brings the video game and video game music to the palace of art and makes the interaction between the viewer and the work become the participant in the show. This is an experiential performance of technological sense of future.

Using Multimedia Video Music to Elaborate Technology and Human Relations

Code: Cytus cooperates with Taiwan’s well-known gameplay company, Rayark Inc. The story is based on the prototype story of the music game Cytus, telling about the issue between human and technology.

Synopsis:In the distant future, human will be able to transfer their memories to an operator. Operator is a robot, which inherits the human memories instead of feelings. The release of Operator allows people to continue their unfulfilled aspirations after they die. Once they file an application to the government, with reasonable grounds, their memories are allowed to be transferred.
Cytus is an assistive system maintaining the behavior of Operator. Being not able to generate feelings, after undertaking the memories, Operator would experience self-contradiction about its humanity within and would ultimately lead to its destruction. Cytus is a huge mainframe which records human feelings. Before transferring the memories, people would record their feelings into Cytus.
Operator may be able to mimic the human’s behavior, but it may not imitate the humanity. Among the complex feelings of humanity, would Operator be able to distinguish them and successfully complete the tasks for the human?

Stimulating Imaginations with Technology

As long as the audience goes into the theatre, the DJ, the live musicians and the dancer are seen standing closely to the audience. Stereos and lights stimulate the senses and induce everyone’s imagination. In the process of the interactive experience, the audience together joins this imaginary performance with his/her own feelings and emotions.
