“FRAMES”, is a performance research project that studies the novel choreographic possibilities made available by a 2D screen connected to the internet under a live performance context. Through live image processing and web technologies, it aims to investigate new techniques of building conversations through movement...
Temperature checkpoints, contactless payment, plexiglass encasements, transparent tarps and vinyl stickers demarcating danger/safety zones - these DIY infrastructures constructed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are microcosms of new interactions in our public spaces. This research effort will study emergent and shifting urban forms in...
TOUCH EXPERIMENTS MICRO-RESIDENCY, Nina Sarnelle + Selwa Sweidan What is touch in the context of a year of selective, high stakes touching? What shifts when we read the body in kin, or the touch-body, through the lens of matter and making? TOUCH EXPERIMENTS is a...
Datagram explores a new frontier of social, embodied interaction on the web. Using open source pose detection algorithms, Datagram will rapidly generate, test, and document a series of experimental web experiences in collaboration with the SloMoCo community....
How is anticipation, as a form of movement, facilitated by and captured in and through digital technologies? The events of the last year have placed us in a perpetual state of anticipation on multiple scales — waiting for Zoom calls to connect, wondering when it...
Corpos sonoros is a part of a long term residency proposed by Thembi Rosa and João Tragtenberg to work with sound-movement interactions using Giromin, a IMU based wearable Digital Dance and Music Instrument....
Indra is a virtual score platform for musical performance that allows a conductor to improvise with an ensemble in real time. The SloMoCo microresidency will focus on integrating gesture recognition technology into the conductor's interface....
SIGN STEALING considers foreign and domestic surveillance, crowd patterns, and the choreographies of public space. Artist Megan Young and collaborators will inhabit areas of real and symbolic power: where citizens gather to protest, politicians give open address, and police uphold rules of the state. Part...
The Firebird is a more-than-human futuristic origin myth. Their story will be told through a choreographic intervention for public spaces performed by an assemblage of artists, relational sculptures and invisible critters. The sculptures work as big toys composed of two motion-driven digital layers: the first...
channel.channel will be an ongoing project and site that will offer interdisciplinary lectures and movement practices. Creating virtual pedagogical spaces that go beyond flat video transmissions and crafting spaces that are rhizomatic and iterative is a core part of our experiment. Using our backgrounds in...
