Skinetic Zone: Magical Technology and Performance
Presented by Footloose, Theatecture, Central Market NOW
NOV 14-16, 2014 at One Grove Street, San Francisco
Real-time digital art, kinetic living sculptures, dance/theater and visual narratives inhabit Skinetic Zone. In this live action performance inspired by graphic novels, the characters from another dimension struggle for control of magical power. Skinetic Zone featured live performance and real-time 3D projection mapping controlled by wearable devices called Myos that allow performers to control the surrounding visuals. The Myos were only released to developers in September, 2014, so this technology in a live performance makes Skinetic Zone a first-of-its-kind performance.
