One Word Movie is an on-line platform which organizes, based on user-supplied terms, the flood of images on the Internet into an animated film. A word turns into images, images turn into a movie. This project plays with the tension between on-line and cinematic approaches to images. What images are associated with what words? «One Word Movie» reveals a glimpse into the „collective psychology“ of online cultures by showing patterns of word-image associations, as created by millions of people around the world.
WE ONLY DO researches the generic development of movement and performance structures. It is a network of choreographic structures (performed by a dancer), instructions (given by a computer) connected by rules and wireless headphones.
“eyeconed woeshoeshine,
choreogenetics and stagedicing,
3Dancers on their way to form,
plus veni vidi audi.....”
Georg Hobmeier (Austria) has a theatre background and works since some years within the new media collective 'Senselabor'. He is interested in how organisational structures come to exist within a choreography using live interactive media technology.
Choreogenetica: Georg Hobmeier | pure data, Computer Programming: Leo Lass; Audio: Gregor Ladenhauf | Dance: Nina Fajdiga, Vlasta Veselko, Jadi Carboni. We Only Do is a graduation project of Dance Unlimited, Amsterdam Hogeschool vd Kunsten (AHK).
CHIMERA is a conversation between chant and dance. A singer communicates by her voice, a dancer by her body, influencing one another by their mutual actions. The dancer making the unvisible audible, thus forming a soundscape of both abstract and conventional language. Gentle sounds exagerated by the gestures of the dancer and sent through the space like floating airbubles. A videocapturing system will interpret movements into sound.
Composition & Singing: Evelien van den Broek; Choreografy & Dance: Eva Baumann; Software Programing & Sound: Boban Bajic; light: Minna Tiikkainen o.v.; Artistic Advise: Robert Steijn; Production: De Trampoline, Melkweg.
