reality (5)

In the summer of 2013, I invited several artists to freely explore the AR space and its art making potential. Conceptual and technical support was provided and the artists were given complete access to their own AR channel and virtual studio.

dance-tech is pleased to announce the launching of the first dance-tech Augmented Reality creative project developed by NY dancer and choreographer Adam H Weinert.

Adam created THE REACCESSION OF TED SHAWN as a digital installation in The Museum of Modern Art without the museum’s consent.

He "placed" a permanent installation of his recent performances at MoMA in the AR environment. Through the use of the dance-tech.tv AR app, visitors are able to view footage of his performances simply by using their smartphones or tablet to the museum galleries where he performed in October of 2013.

His project implicate the  uses of the mobile technology questioning notions and affordances of exhibition space, archive, participation, institutional legitimation, interfaces and mediation.

More about the project

From project website:

"By installing the re-performances of Ted Shawn's choreography inside the museum walls, Weinert strives to perform an act of “Reaccession”.  This perlocutionary flip, made possible by the use of AR and video documentation, trespasses on the museum and exposes aspects of its relation to its audience, to dance and to dance history usually unseen.  The Reaccession of Ted Shawn challenges notions of the archive and re-performance as understood by recent scholarship in performance studies and art history by way of digital, performative intervention and offers a new vector for displaying performance in museum spaces - one which honors the vision of the authors and transforms the museum into more than a cenotaphic display."

http://panoramafestival.com/2012/panorama-aumentado-2_en/

Panorama Aumentado creates a hidden media landscape that grows as the festival happens.

Use your smart phones to discover geolocated videos of performances and interviews with the dancetrchtvARapp on festival program, banners, posters, logos the facades of the theaters.

The lab explores the intersection of online video journalism and Augmented Reality technology, creating a mobile media experience during the festival. The lab works a hub to share with the community new ways of media production, distributions and interfacing. It explores potential of mobile augmented reality  technology to intervene and augment the festival  with digital content.

The audience uses smart phones or tablets to scan programs and posters of the festival  and theater facades to discover video layers with performance excepts, artists interviews and other contents created by a team of volunteers from the local community.

 

 

 

How does Panorama Aumentado work?

Dear EveryoneWe would like to invite you all to a performance of No Living Room on 29th July at 8.30pm, at the Arcola Theatre in the festival Adventures in Movement for Create 09.

watch showreel

No Living Room is the culmination of years of work combining our projected environments with dance. although some of the material has been shown before this narrative reworking creates a piece much closer to our vision of what we call Virtual Reality Theatre.

The blurb is:
alKamie presents
(No) Living Room
Cutting-edge virtual-reality meets physical theatre to playfully challenge economic mantra.…
Arcola Theatre, 8.30 pm
27 Arcola St., London E8 2D
020 7503 1646

With the icecaps and economies alike in meltdown `No Living Room' playfully empties the complexities of consumerism and economic growth into dream-like cinematic theatre. Through live virtual reality and quirky physicality we tumble into a woman's fears and fantasies, to surface from calamity, in the midst of alternative possibilities. read more
