2020 - interactive dance+sound art performance
Δtopia (pronounced “Delta-topia”) is a contemporary dance and sonic arts performance that uses sensor interfaces to facilitate the electronic interaction between movement and sound, by measuring certain attributes of motion in realtime. The sonic material originates from interviews of artists of different backgrounds, focusing on questions on the topics of displacement, place, and distance.
On stage, the motion data is used to modulate, resequence, or otherwise distort them. The resulting displacements, perceived on a semantic (textual) and aural level simutaneously, create the tensions, densities, and perceptual abstractions, around which a time-based performance piece is constructed that takes no specific thematic position at all: it is the result of the ebbs and flows of information through its process.
