Summary:
This article illustrates how art and human computer interaction come together to pull the audience deeper into the performance by using their bodies. The article introduces us to a project that integrates dance with visualization techniques gestured by the artist's body. The idea stemmed from an experimentation in which dancers held motion capture like devices on their hands when dancing. The way it was used varied, even from being passed on from dancer to dancer. This is where art and technology meet to create a new type of performance. This project helps researches further investigate how technology can be used in the dancing arts.
Discussion:
I would like to see one of these performances because I would like to experience this unique new way of dance. I want to see what kind of images appear and I also wouldn't mind trying one out myself. Hopefully my lack of dance skills will not create some hideous image and drive viewers away.
