Node London: b>b>d>s bodydataspace
Body-Reactive Interfaces, Large Screen Displays and Public Interventions
b>d>s bodydataspace, visionary integration of the body, technologies and environments. Two evenings examining the growing crossover between body-reactive interfaces, large screen displays and public/performative interventions. 6th March: SWAP (Portugal); Andrew Chetty (The Public); Steve Dixon (Brunel University); Sophia Lycouris. 13th March: Sheron Wray/Fleeta Siegel (texterritory); Keith Watson (Martello Towers Jaywick); United Video Artists; David Cotterell. Plus inputs across both evenings on work by bodydataspace, kondition pluriel (Canada), Masaki Fujihata (Japan) and more.
*b>d>s* specialise in the participation of the public and performers in real-time environments where the content generated enhances human attributes such as identity, memory, touch and presence. This 'body at the centre' view is unique and necessary for effective, interactive environments for public involvement. The body of the public and the performer is now engaged in the creative generation of data in a variety of environments and interactive installations enabling exploration of the future potentials of the human body to control and influence data.
*b>d>s*will show examples from artists who are creating interactive environments immersing the body in reactive data. These events are aimed at creating exchange, debate and vision-sharing between movement and digital artists and practitioners. The focus will be on a deeper consideration of the attributes and creativity of the human body itself.
