Dancing With Swarming Particles [Kinect, Unity]

Dancing With Swarming Particles is an interactive installation and performace that explores the relationship between a physical user/performer and a virtual performer the “avatar” which has the physical characteristics of morphing flocking particles.

The avatar’s body is composed by flocking particles that initially float in the virtual space without any apparent order the using user/performer’s movements the particles start to morph into their body.

    Sparks, Antoine Schmitt, 1998

    http://www.gratin.org/as/txts/sparks.html

    Installation designed to be used as a partner for a dancer in choregraphic improvisation situation.

    Created for the performance of Juha-Pekka Marsalo, given at the Théatre Contemporain de la Danse (TCD) in Paris in November 1998.

    An autonomous artificial creature, Sparks, doted of vision and of a specific behavior, locked up in its screen, improvises in front of a dancer. The dancer sees Sparks, Sparks sees the dancer, they dance relatively to each other. Sparks imitates, gets filled with energy, goes away, gets bored, comes back. Sparks is for the dancer a partner full of energy, light and surprises.
