Description
Two dancers, a visual artist and a sound artist, perform live. Performing bodies as an interface between the spectators and the media environment. By manipulating the sensors, spectators can modify certain parameters of the media environment. Participants make artistic choices in a climate of structured improvisation. Tendencies towards dialogue, confrontation, collaboration, domination, or game-playing. Relationships develop between the spectators and the performers. The active spectators become performers themselves.
