The project was conceived in the collaborative effort to understand motion through the lens of a movement artist, interactive designer & technologist, sound designer, and performance & technical director. Using technology to mediate the difference in perspectives, the project is an exploration into the blending of technology and dance. The inception of the project stemmed from the possibilities of coming together with different disciplines, to discover and align our “theories” of motion.
Deconstructing movement into its fundamental principles, the inception of collaboration is facilitated through a system of understanding movement by dance artist, Zhuo Zihao, and the interactive sensor-system designed to extract quantitative data from qualitative movements. Expressions in the form of sonic and visual output were developed and refined post-workshop, in which sensor placements were determined to collect input data. The final exploration combines the dancer, the system and the environment and sees how the expressions of movement can be transcended.
There will be a 30-minute guided tour of the Performing Arts x Tech Lab Industry Sharing exhibition after the event.
