A Collaborative, Experimental Performance Production
The potential of multimodality (stills, live/recorded video-feedback
with or without strobe-effect), live performing ability (live operated
camera/video-feedback) and generative features (video-feedback)
of digital media were applied and explored in this performance to
create changing combinations of aesthetics (colour/black-white,
static/fluid scenography) and a sensible fluid pace at play with
light, music and movements. As light, movement and camera movements
together generate video-feedback, the variations were multiplied,
changing the digital expression every performing evening, only to
some extent controllable by the operator. The piece emphasised the
analogy between live and recorded material as perceived, and how
digital media may be an expressive tool in live performance, creating
something in between mode-stage-lighting and a movie.
