This event took place in Bayonne, South-West of France, in March
2009.It took the form of an improvized show in one of the artists' flat
and was open to the public, providing a comfy, but a bit strange
atmosphere.
A saz (a kurd lute) player and an accordion player improvized a musical
atmosphere
over which poetry was read. A professional dancer wore the Moven motion
capture suit and improvized a dance over the music and text. Then, a 3D
skeleton
of the dancer was projected onto the wall. At the same time, a
draftsman
triggered Flash animations in real time that superposed with the
virtual scene.
At the beginning of the show, the dancer was in a separate room. The
audience
could only see its virtual alter ego projected on the wall, and the
superposed
Flash animations. In the end of the show, the dancer moved
and danced within the audience, which at this moment could see the real
dancer
interacting with them.
