The tools used in the project include physical survey non-participating observation (Non-Participant Observation) Structured Interview Form Group discussion (Focus Group Discussion) and a questionnaire (Questionaire) to proceed with the creation of works of art. by bringing the knowledge gained from study and research Let's categorize, take notes, and digitize data through audio recordings. The resulting digital audio files are converted into shapes through a computer program. in order to achieve free movement under geometric shapes Then, the resulting shape was used as inspiration for the creation of Lanna ghost characters to be presented in the form of multimedia creations. This will be another way to disseminate modern media to the people of today.
