Canadian premiere of “Dökk” by *fuse art studio
Dökk is a live-media performance about a journey throughout a sequence of digital landscapes where the perception of space and time is altered.
Throughout this journey, the performer’s experience is deeply interconnected to everything in the world surrounding her.
In order to represent this concept of interdependence, a system has been created which processes real-time data from biometric and movement sensors (worn by the performer and placed on the stage) together with data coming from social networks.
These data contribute to modify both the digital landscapes and the soundscapes of the performance.
very time the performance is staged, the system analyzes the messages that people from all over the world share on social networks, inferring the emotional state through a sentiment analysis algorithm.
These data, together with the performer’s biometric data, make the performance different every time it is staged.
On August 24th, Canadian premiere of Dökk within the 20th MUTEK Montréal - international festival of digital creativity and electronic music (at 08:00pm, Théâtre Maisonneuve), presented in the multi-sensorial series ‘A/Visions’, the most significant of the Festival.
