The Choreographic language agent project takes a novel approach to creating dance movements. Choreographer Wayne McGregor, its first user, is currently creating a new dance work with it.

Into the forest is an interactive 3D installation commissioned by the Museum of the Moving Image as part of its Real Virtuality exhibit, which celebrates the redesign and expansion of the museum building. The exhibit opens on January 15 and runs through June 12, 2011.

A viewer encountering Into the forest may choose to step into an illuminated circular zone in front of the artwork, upon which his or her moving outline is inserted directly into the 3d rendering, a spellbinding entrance into the virtual world and a dramatic move in its game of hide-and-seek — for the viewer’s double takes on the same painterly appearance as those of the virtual children populating the 3D world, and is subject to the same spatial occlusions, shadow-casting, and other visual properties of its custom real-time renderer.

Other Bodies is a large sequence of texts and accompanying diagrams projecting you into the experience of different bodies. Like Breath, we’re creating it with new tools for rendering text and image to the page rather than to the screen. Ultimately the work will become an edition of large prints.
