Danza Abierta is a program of the Universidad de Costa Rica, that allows aspiring students of all levels and backgrounds to have direct contact with profesional dancers and their activities. This video narrates their sessions during the first semester of 2011.

Rubiko Draft 2

Armadillo Ruín — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:50:14 +0000

Second draft of the upcoming videodance project, working in tandem with Verónica Monestel. This has changed a lot since my last post.

Once again, this is a live, onstage, installation, where the dancer interacts with the video, and uses a (very filtered) mike to produce sounds onstage. Her audio input signal is also used to trigger audiovisual events. In the future, the surfaces will be changed to three dimensional objects, and video feed will be used to apply texture and movement. All content is synchronized live; prerecorded content will be used just as building blocks

Now I’m using MaxMSP/Jitter instead of Processing, since I needed a more robust video generation tool. Also, I’m using the trial version of MadMapper to separate the video projection over several different surfaces. Ableton Live is used for audio generation, and live voice filters.

Since this is a very early, brainstorming stage, I don’t have video yet.

RubikDance Draft1

First draft of a new upcoming videodance project. A dancer on stage, using a wireless controller (built with Arduino Uno and XBee 2) to interact with the video projected on the back.

The video reacts to the dancer’s input, projects live vieo and is controlled backstage via an iPad.

OSC for iPad-computer comminication, and Processing for the main program.

Part 3 of Sujeto del Inconsciente. This one was originally projected inside a cube structure in the theater’s lobby. The sound was added later, so it could be watched stand-alone.

Part 2 of the Sujeto del Inconsciente set. This one was originally projected on stage, while the dancers performed live in front of it (in-synch both choreographies).

This version was adjusted for viedo-only projection, mixing both parts (video and live performers), since the original had some blank parts.

Sujeto del Inconsciente

I worked with the Danza Universitaria dance group for this project. It was featured on the inaugural show for the new Teatro de la Aduana.

Directed by Verónica Monestel, we worked on this for about half a year, combining live performance and in-studio shootings.

This is a revised version, adapted for video-only (the original required live dancers to complete the visuals).

Friday night, lighting some chinese lamps a friend bought.

At the end there were about 30 people around, and 20 floating lamps.

A short voyage through smoke. What sensations does it make you feel?

I started with one idea, ended with another. The video and music made themselves, just as much as I made them myself.

A rorschach-ized portrait of who would later become my wife.
