interactive dance media

Anfractuous is an interactive dance media artwork that invites viewers to activate the choreography through choice and play. It is a collaboration with Media Artist, Martin Jarmick, composer Paul Matthew Moore and dance artists Imana Gunawan, Natalie Fernandi, Sean O’Bryan and Mike Majinn O’Neal. It is funded, in part, by a Mellon Creative Artist Fellowship grant, the Petersen Endowed Professorship fund and the Kreielsheimer Grant for Research Excellence in the Arts. The project is currently in development with early system design, visuals, cinematography tests, and interaction currently being explored.

Similar to a game, the piece is experienced through a mobile device or computer. Video panels are arranged on the screen and display various angles, spaces and moving bodies and audiences search for visual and sonic relationships between the videos. Audiences engage multiple senses to author their own flow and order of the dance with each experience.
