Research into new technology
Chrissie is convinced that choreography and dance will be transformed
by advanced technologies. Her research into the sciences behind
the motion capture process confirms it.
ArtsWA funded a 3-year Research Fellowship allowing continuous
investigation into Motion Capture Technology, its implications and
use in choreography and teaching. Working with Medialab Paris and
PsychoGraphics Perth, Chrissie created her virtual dancer Zardia.
A real dancer (Claudia Alessi) wearing a wireless motion-tracking
rig performed choreographic phrases, instantly captured by computer.
This character, existing solely in virtual space, is a tiny glimpse
into the potential of these exciting technologies. |
