| description:
encapsulating is an
interactive work of video and audio composed specifically to accompany
choreography by Ellie Leonhardt. We were interested in creating a
work that uses technology to convey a multiplicity of perspectives as
welll as a sense of containement, resistance, and escape. The
video uses a camera on the
live
dancer as input to a series of visual columns and is controlled by
audio cues
as
well as automated through algorithmic processes. The sound world
is
created by the live electronic manipulation of a Javanese gender
(a 14-key bronze percussion instrument). |
