To foster an environment for fluid exploration of these ideas, the piece employs interactive elements such as motion tracking and gesture recognition of the dancer, and digitally interfaced technology of the past—including 8mm film projectors and analog typewriters. All of these interactive elements inform and control the manner in which the music and film is realized.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
