Local-global network

Artists from different places around the world, invited to the project ahead of time or who offer to participate on the spur of the moment, can send videos or make broadcasts over video calling networks. At the exhibition site, a mini dance floor is set up with special flooring, a disco glitter ball, lighting and a surveillance camera. Besides being used in the audiovisual mixing, the images of the floor are analysed by tracking and gesture detection algorithms, so that the movement of those dancing interferes directly with the rhythm, colour and visual patterns in the final image.

From this convergence of databases and live streaming arises an audiovisual composition that short-circuits psychedelia and informational aesthetic, making reference to both the colours, effects and rhythms of Paik's videos as well as the geometric graphing of the data visualization.
