Abstract

Digitalizing Performance is an exploration of an intelligent 3D locating system, focusing on how to use its possibilities narratively in live performance, when embedded into costume. Demo(); – Interactive Performance is the performance developed from this exploration, throughout which the location of the performer is being tracked through her costume; this position data is used to generate location-related cues which enable various atmospheric and scenic manipulations.
The costume’s integrated functions upgraded its role and usage, breaking the basic conventional frames by expanding its visual function towards new, multi-sensory layers. With the use of wearable electronics, the costume became a tool to provide a novel set of audio-visual manipulation options, an agent that moved the dramaturgy forward. This pushed costume to the foreground of the performance-making process.
Digitalizing Performance with Wearables and Software is a project funded by the Aalto Internal Seed funding scheme for ‘new multidisciplinary openings’, led by Professors Mario Di Francesco (Aalto SCI), Sofia Pantouvaki (Aalto ARTS) and Tomi Humalisto (UniARTS, VÄS).
