MIGRATION PATTERNS: music with motion sensor technology on Governors Island
About this Event
A presentation of new works for MUGIC motion sensor:
- MIGRATION PATTERNS by Mari Kimura & Adrienne Westwood
- Laminations by Yuxuan Lin
About the program:
and share their collaboration-in-progress MIGRATION PATTERNS, an interdisciplinary performance featuring cyclically responsive movement, sound and video. Dancers wear MUGIC® motion sensors to generate, interrupt, and shape a their audiovisual environment in real time as they explore notions of belonging, adaptation, and movement through time and space. The work weaves three layered choreographies of migration -- orbit, drift and locomotion -- with Kimura's original music and sensor-driven interactivity, collapsing boundaries between choreography, composition, and technology.
This development of this work is supported, in part, by a grant from the New Music USA Creator Fund.
shares Laminations for MUGIC®. Drawing inspiration from the parallax effect — a visual technique in which layered images move at differing velocities to simulate spatial depth —the work constructs an illusory three-dimensional space from two-dimensional visual strata, treating spatiality as something continuously assembled in real time. This work invites audiences into a perceptual space where depth is no longer passively received but actively constructed through embodied interactions with the use of MUGIC® motion sensors.
Location:
The Glass Clouds House (Building 14, Nolan Park) is a beautiful community arts space with a cozy living room salon & porch seating, surrounded by lots of green space.
Governors Island is a fun, family-friendly place to spend the day (rain or shine!), with bike trails, art exhibits, and food trucks.
