Signal/Noise

Signal/Noise interactive dance performance with kinetic typography, 2010
In collaboration with Jonathan Aitken and  Karen Garrett de Luna

Working with a collaborative team at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, we made use of the school’s motion capture system to feed data from a dancer’s movement to a Max patch which allowed for both the triggering of specific video events and direct control of specific typographic features or movements.
