Waterwheel

Web-performance, telepresence & real time media mixing laboratory

iMAL hosts Suzon Fuks for a web-performance, telepresence & real time media mixing laboratory exploring and testing the new online venue the TAP, which is part of the WATERWHEEL project revolving about water as a topic and metaphor.

- As well as our own bodies, the tools that we will use are: webcams, media palettes, realtime drawing tool, type chat, projections

- Explorations: scores/parameters/mini-scripts on the theme of water, interaction between webcams & body movements/voice & media, mixing & layering media (also with webcams), interaction text/voice/sound/chat,
interaction online/onsite spaces with or without projections
