+ SICK +



GLOW IS A HALF HOUR DANCE SOLO ON THE GROUND-VIEWED FROM VERY HIGH ANGLE, LIT BY DATA PROJECTOR FROM THE CEILING, USING REAL TIME GENERATED GRAPHICS TO WORK WITH MOVEMENT OF THE DANCER - FOR THIS TO ABLE TO BE DONE, THERE'S INFRA RED VIDEO CAMERA THAT IS WATCHING THE DANCER IN SPACE AND INFORMING THE COMPUTER OF THE MOVEMENTS OF THE DANCER - WHERE THE DANCER IS, HOW FAST ARE THEY MOVING, WHICH PART OF THE BODY ARE THEY MOVING - FROM THAT DATA A COMPUTER RUNS A SERIES OF ALGORITHMS (PROCEDURE FOR SOLVING A PROBLEM IN A FINITE NUMBER OF STEPS), THAT ARE CUED UP THROUGH THE SHOW - AND THOSE ALGORITHMS GENERATE GRAPHIC TO RESPONSE TO THE DATA/TO THE DANCE. I DO NOT DIG THE DANCE ITSELF PARTICULARLY, BUT THE LIGHT SENSATION IS TOTALLY SICK - ABSOLUTE INSPIRATION!  +  THANK YOU HANNA  -  AND SO ARE YOU  +
