Workshop

Synopsis

This workshop provides an overview of three key areas of investigation in our creative process in making Room: A Corporeal Dialogue Across Time. We ask: 1) does the technology of motion capturing facilitate corporeal dialogue and activation of cultural memories? 2) If so, what does technology offer and add to the performance of the body? 3) How do we effectively design and program the relationship between movement and media elements? We will discuss methodologies, challenges, and discoveries at the heart of our collaboration that uses the technology of motion capturing to visualize traces of movement through images and activate specific sounds. We will invite the audience to participate in a live demonstration of the camera-based AI motion capture and media playback system and showcase the adaptability of this logic of connecting structured improvisation with media. We will end the workshop with a Q&A with the participants.
