| <nettime-ann> [event] Announcing Shifting Intimacies: An Interactive Installation at the ICA London, Feb 2006 |
. | SHIFTING INTIMACIES | is a new interactive/media artwork by KEITH ARMSTRONG (Transmute Collective AU), CHARLOTTE VINCENT (Vincent dance Theatre UK) and GUY WEBSTER (Transmute Collective) that invites the participant to meditate upon and witness the human body disintegrating and transforming whilst in motion. | Time/Place/Details Event: SHIFTING INTIMACIES: (Recipient of CAPTURE 4 AWARD, 2005) Venue: THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART (ICA), The Mall, London Times: 16 FEB (noon) until 21 FEB (7.30pm) 2006 Contact: ICA Box Office Phone: +44 20 7930 3647 | SYNOPSIS: Each participant enters a large, dark space (20m x 8m) alone. They see two circles of projected film imagery, one on a floating disc of white sand and the other on a circle of white dust. Sounds sweep up and down the space through surround sound, whilst participants92 movements direct and affect the filmic image and audio experience. Throughout the work a layer of dust (an artificial life form) slowly eats away and infuses itself deep into the imagery. This immersive work invites differing states of meditation, exploration, stillness and play and moves through states of eternally shifting balance in ways that produces a heightened awareness of the body. The work uses a range of technologies including interactive video (Very Nervous System), body heat sensors, custom built electronics, image databases, real time computational synthesis software (Opcode Max), networking software, real time audio digital signal processing (Max MSP) and real time show control protocols. Controllable actuators also move physical material through the air. | URLs: ICA: http://www.ica.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid3D14685 Vincent Dance Theatre: http://www.vincentdt.com/curshifting.htm Capture4: http://www.portlandgreen.com/capture4 Keith Armstrong: http://www.embodiedmedia.com/projects/SI | PARTNERSHIPS: Keith Armstrong and Charlotte Vincent were awarded the Capture4 ICA/ Arts Council England co-commission award to create Shifting Intimacies in 2005, and to be shown at the ICA London in February 2006.
