Supporting the Development of International Arts & Technology Projects

In 2012, body>data>space will co-produce and promote five major art works encouraging public engagement through interactive technologies:

THREE INTERACTIVE ROBOTIC PROJECTS:

Sociable Asymmetry from Ruairi Glynn. A kinectic robotic sculpture extending the concepts of motion within architecture. Robots and Avatars commission

The Blind Robot from Louis Philippe Demers. What degrees of intellectual, emotional or physical engagement are generated when a Robot caresses your face? Robots and Avatars commission

Outreach : Crystallising Movements from Atmos. An architectural/kinetic work immersing the participant within a responsive motion capture sculpture. RAN commission

TWO VIRTUAL WORLDS PROJECTS:

Visions of our Communal Dreams from Michael Takeo Magruder with Drew Baker, Erik Fleming & David Steele. A multi-sited virtual world reflecting the public in the exhibition space and extended through online play beyond the physical (see picture). Robots and Avatars commission

Me & my Shadow from Joseph Hyde. A telepresence/motion capture portal simultaneously active in 4 cities involving creative participation by the public. MADE commission

body>data>space

body>data>space – interactive design collective based in East London who have advocated for the living body to be at the heart of the digital debate since the early 1990s. Our focus is on body responsive technologies, virtual physical networks, interactive interfaces, user centred experiences and collaborative sharespaces.

We create fascinating connections between performance, architecture, new media and virtual worlds. We make and commission events/installations, we curate exhibitions and debates, consult on creativity and technology and present into a wide variety of sectors on the living body and technological evolutions. We aim to enable body knowledge to be shared through technologies.
