Join us for a presentation on the collaborative performance and research project COMMIT!. This gallery exhibit transforms data collected during COMMIT! performances, in which a performer falls repeatedly, throwing themself on the ground trying to execute the most “committed” fall that they possibly can. During the show, “commitment” is measured by gathering qualitative data (real-time responses on perceived commitment from the audience) and quantitative data which is collected via sensors that track the shape of the performer’s body, its estimated speed and force and pattern of impact. Project collaborators will discuss their process of creating the performance and the resulting artifacts built from collected data, and reveal a new generative animation tool.
This event is part of Moving with Screens + Machines: A Symposium on Embodied Practices and Technology.
