During the project, a multidisciplinary group of students from the fields of Computer Science, Costume Design and Lighting Design worked together with a performer, a sound designer and a scenographer to explore possibilities of using 3D positioning data through a tracking system to control scenic elements, costume and sound. What is the visual, dramaturgical and performative impact of the performer’s body?
Based on experiments, the artistic research group has been developing a short interactive demo performance to be held on stage.

Digitalizing Performance with Wearables and Software is a project funded by the Aalto Internal Seed funding scheme for ‘new multidisciplinary openings’, led by Professors Mario Di Francesco (Aalto SCI), Sofia Pantouvaki (Aalto ARTS) and Tomi Humalisto (UniARTS, VÄS). Collaborating guest supervisor: Taina Relander, costume designer.

Audience capacity is limited so please book a place by contacting the team by email: mia.jalerva at uniarts.fi<mailto:mia.jalerva at uniarts.fi>. Without reservation, audience will enter the demo on a first come, first served basis.
