Info
Max Levy Choreographic Works and Cosa Mentale invite you to Temporal Spaces, a multimedia dance installation emphasizing curiosity, play, and the exploration of movement via visual and acoustic feedback. With no professional performers, the audience instead assumes the role of dancer, choreographer, and eventually viewer, in a room of interactive zones and feedback triggers. Balancing the peace between activity and silence, Temporal Spaces emphasises interplay between the seen and the unseen, to produce a collective visualization of captured movement and choreography. What do we move, and what moves us? When do we begin, how do we begin? Alternating between phases of interacting and observing, the public is able to witness a collaborative result of their captured and altered parameters, then iterate further on their collective inquiry. The project merges the audience’s curiosity and playfulness with AI’s own playful interpretations of movement capture to produce and archive real-time, iterative interactivity as visualized choreography.
