Capturing Stillness – Palais de Danse II
Capturing Stillness uses performance capture & computer game worlds to create transformative experiences derived from Skinner Releasing Technique and its poetics. For this presentation Ruth Gibson & Bruno Martelli will describe the project’s background and context, commenting on their current artistic practice & their future residency at CAFKA/Christie Digital Systems in Canada – where they will be developing immersive stereo 3d environments with the aim of creating a kinaesthetic code.
The event will be in the form of a drop-in Salon, opening up the projects advances in the motion capture studio – including a demonstration of MocApp – an AR iphone motion capture viewer app developed with Alex Woolner (SGI), Daniel Skolvi (motion.lab) & Melbourne based programmer Scott Ashton who has previously worked with media art pioneer Jeffrey Shaw.
A celebration of Ruth Gibson’s three year AHRC Fellowship in the Creative and Performing Arts.
