Aether is a live motion capture-performance designed and choreographed from the ancestral use of sacred geometry and the embodied elements. The dancer’s movement is tracked and translated to a 3d model emitting different particle systems in real-time
What inspired you to make this project?:
A desire to see motion capture used for something other than fancy CGI movies or video games. To see this technology used as art, where it is a part of the performance rather than a tedious step in the process of making something.
