Tre Marie @ DXARTS concert
Tre Marie
Tre
Marie is an interactive audio-visual dance improvised performance. The
system in progress is an innovation of RF-ID (radio-frequency
identification) technology for dance performance, which improvise live
visuals on stage. The performance is a reconstructed architecture of
spaces, encodes the spatial aesthetics of the interaction between
human, theatrical space and cinematic space.
A RF-ID reader device and tags are attached to dancers on stage and
when RF-ID reader detects the tags by the actions the dancers take on
stage. The RF-ID tags are being placed around the stage as well as
dancers’ bodies. The movement of the dancers, as well as the
locomotion on stage are being carefully mapped into the parameters of
the live generated virtual sculpture. The identification data contained
inside the RF-ID tags will be forwarded to the system that control the
parameters of live visuals by means of bluetooth wireless technology,
which contains a lively helix sculpture, generated by OpenGL.
In collaboration with Hiroki Nishino from DXARTS & Pamela Pietro, Department of Dance, University of Washingto
Tre Marie premiered at DXARTS concert and have been performed in ACM Conference 2006, UCSB, Santa Barbara.
