Designing tangible interactions to record movement
Type
Dance is an embodied practice that is challenging to capture, document and archive because dance movement encompasses complex somatic and also cultural knowledge. Up to date, dance is mainly recorded through audio visual media on either institutional databases or streaming websites such as YouTube or Vimeo. However, mere video recordings do not inform on the cultural context, the movement qualities nor the kinesthetic sensations in dance, among others.
The goal of this internship is to go beyond visual and sonic interactions for dance archiving.
