Project by Daniel Franke & Cedric Kiefer.<\/p>\n
The basic idea of the project is built upon the consideration of creating
\na moving sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person. For
\nour work we asked a dancer to visualize a musical piece (Kreukeltape by
\nMachinenfabriek) as closely as possible by movements of her body. She was
\nrecorded by three depth cameras (Kinect), in which the intersection of the
\nimages was later put together to a three-dimensional volume (3d point cloud),
\nso we were able to use the collected data throughout the further process.
\nThe three-dimensional image allowed us a completely free handling of the
\ndigital camera, without limitations of the perspective. The camera also reacts
\nto the sound and supports the physical imitation of the musical piece by the
\nperformer. She moves to a noise field, where a simple modification of the
\nrandom seed can consistently create new versions of the video, each offering
\na different composition of the recorded performance. The multi-dimensionality
\nof the sound sculpture is already contained in every movement of the dancer,
\nas the camera footage allows any imaginable perspective.<\/p>\n
