From real to virtual embodied performance – a case study between dance and technology

Co:Lateral is an artistic project that aims to explore the means offered by digital technologies in performance. We conceptualized, developed and implemented a digital artifact, resulting in a digital performance based on the structure of realities born of a body and its double in movement. In this project, authors carried out a research and experimentation process in close collaboration with a contemporary dance company, in order to design the relation between real and virtual body and extend it in a relationship of intimacy with interactive virtual reality. The performative discourse that resulted from this dialogue allows a poetic impulse that evokes moments of the death of the swan immersed in an immaterial space of light and projection: a phantom of a dance file that now returns to a reality of illusory imprisonment. We will make a general introduction to digital art and interactivity, introducing the concept of digital performance and its contextualization in digital and contemporary art.

Co:Lateral是一项旨在探究数字技术在表演艺术中所提供手段的艺术项目。该项目由我们构思、开发和实施，最终以基于身体及其双重运动所产生现实结构的数字艺术作品形式呈现。在此项目中，作者与一家当代舞蹈公司紧密合作，进行了研究和实验过程，旨在设计真实与虚拟身体之间的关系，并将其扩展至与互动虚拟现实亲密的关系之中。由此对话产生的表演性话语，激发了一种诗意的冲动，唤起了天鹅在充满光影的非物质空间中死亡的时刻：一个舞蹈文件的幽灵，如今重返被幻觉所囚禁的现实之中。我们将对数字艺术和交互性进行一般性的介绍，并引入数字表演的概念及其在数字与当代艺术中的定位。
