[Hiatus] brings real-time dance, video, music and light together with a sensor: the Kinect. The gesture is captured, retransmitted and analyzed, triggering a visual and audible response to which it responds in turn.
For the artists it is a reversal of the conventional codes of the show. Hiatus not only connects the living with the digital, it links them to each other. The dancer precedes the music, leads and plays video. She is both an interpreter and conductor, she triggers and reacts. Play with digital elements and in fact its stage partners.
By introducing a physical body and enabling it to act through dance on the technological tool, our will is to make sensitive and visible the intervention of the Human in the digital work and thus give it a dimension other than Virtual. The body, as a disruptive and / or triggering element, thus comes somehow to "hack" the machine.
Hiatus is looking for a new digital writing by playing the errors and possible latencies of the machine by the body. The latter is neither the puppet of the digital tool nor a body augmented by it, it is a body in constant dialogue with this tool. The digital tool is somewhere considered to be a separate entity.
Hiatus is a Live Digital Art Show
