1. What We Have Lost/What We Have Gained
This project investigates embodied electronic music performance using large upper body movements. It also explores how to transform viewers into performers, participants, and players through tangible interactions with a sculpture. In doing so, it explores the experience of using one's physical body to manipulate the digital representation of another person's body.
The project presents an interface that is both familiar to musicians and visible to a live audience. Originally conceived as a MIDI drum pad, the object now serves as a pressure-sensitive multitouch audio-video playback device that uses infrared presence detection.

2. Tangible Scores
A "tangible score" is a tactile interface for musical expression that incorporates a score into its physical shape, surface structure, or spatial configuration. With sound as a continuous input signal, both synthesis and control are available simultaneously through direct manipulation of the engraved patterns on the physical score. Every interface is conceived from a different graphical score. These tactile patterns suggest specific gestural behaviors due to the different affordances and constraints of the patterned object. Sound is generated through polyphonic concatenative synthesis driven by real-time analysis and classification of input-signal spectra.

3. Dividual Plays Experimental Lab
"Dividual Plays Experimental Lab" is an extract from the dance piece Dividual Plays. Dividual Plays was produced as the first research outcome of Reactor for Awareness in Motion (RAM), a research project we have been involved in since 2010. "Dividual Plays Experimental Lab" consists of essential elements of Dividual Plays: virtual environments for dance "scenes," a programming toolkit (RAM Dance Toolkit), and a motion-capture system (MOTIONER). With these systems, the lab allows the visitors to explore and create their own body movements to correspond with the experience of the dancers in Dividual Plays.

A motion-capture system studies how dancers' movements are shaped when interaction is established between the virtual environment and dancers in the real world. |
4. POEME: A Poetry Engine
POEME: A Poetry Engine is an interactive installation that invites participants to create poetry through movement. We explore the relationship between bodily, mechanical, and digital interpretations of movement while referencing the choreographed routines of mass transit. Each participant receives a virtual ticket that grants them entrance to a private performance space. The participant's poems and sensor readings are conveyed outside of the space on a public display reminiscent of a departure board. The installation grew out of designing POEME, a website that allows users to create movement poetry with their mobile device.

In POEME: A Poetry Engine, movement is captured through a user's mobile device, such as a smartphone. Each participant is granted access to a private performance space behind a black curtain, where they can create poetry by moving. |
