Crosstalk

2014. interactive performance installation artwork.

Crosstalk is for two performers; their movement and speech are re-mediated within an augmented environment employing real-time 3D motion tracking, multi-source voice recognition, interpretative language systems, 3D visualisation within a custom physics engine, large scale projection and surround-sound audio synthesis. The acquired speech of the dancers is re-mediated through projected digital display and sound synthesis, the performers causing texts to interact and recombine with one another through their physical actions.

The elements in the system all effect how each adapts, from state to state, as the various elements of the work - people, machines, language, image, movement and sound - interact with one another. Crosstalk seeks to consider social relations, as articulated in language acts of various kinds in relation to the ontologies of self-hood and the generative capacity of technologically mediated social space in 'making people'.
