Please be aware that this is a live performance with STEREOSCOPIC projections, but the YouTube video is only 2D.
Performances at: Royal Festival Hall London, Symphony Hall Birmingham, Taipei Arts Festival, Aarhus Festival, Festival Cervantino Guanajuato/Mexico ...

Dance / Performance: Vivisector - Part 2 - Klaus Obermaier, Chris Haring.
VIVISECTOR is an examination of the different speeds of people/nature and technology/information society and their acceleration; an experiment to overcome the space-time continuum in the real world. It breaks the linearity of movement and in doing so shows the absurdity of momentum.

Composition / Graphical Notation: Ligeti - Artikulation

Locomotive - Place des Arts - Espace culturel.

Director: Thibaut Duverneix
Creation: Thibaut Duverneix & Mathieu Léger Choreographer: Ashlea Watkin
Production: Departement “Locomotive”, the most recent addition to the mosaic screen installation in the foyer of Place des Arts, is a fantastical portrayal of a human machine.

Installation by Kathy Hinde kathyhinde.co.uk

"The inside of an old upright piano, rescued from destruction, is transformed into a kinetic sound sculpture. Video projections move across the surface of the piano strings, triggering small machines to twitch and flutter causing the strings to resonate. The video is visually akin to a musical score or piano roll, and this installation can also become the site for a live performance.
The video is analysed by a MaxMSP patch which divides the screen into a 5x5 grid to correspond to the motors and solenoids which are also arranged in a 5x5 grid on the piano. Movement or any change sensed in the video triggers a device in the corresponding square of the grid - the result is that the fluttering and movement of a bird triggers a device closest to it on the piano.
MaxMSP programming by Matthew Olden
First created in 2008, this new version commissioned by Lumin, May 2010 for Concrete and Glass Festival, 20 Hoxton Square Gallery, London"
