Some weeks ago i took a trip to Genova to see a show called "Sylvatica". It’s a contemporary dance show, featuring the use of body tracking
technology (or "motion capture"), the one used to gather movement data
for 3d computer animation in films and videogames. Apart from this
technical aspect, the show is a research study on the creation of a
living "organism" that uses and transforms data gathered from human
body motion, in 3d scenes, light and music. I really enjoyed the show,
and if it comes near to you just go and see, it’s worth it.
There
are some things i observed in myself while "experiencing", and i want
to write here some small and (maybe) evocative notes for us all.
