Motion Activated
is a collaboration between Lukas Pearse (interactive live visuals and interactive electroacoustic music), animator and visual artist Susan Tooke, and dance artist Véronique MacKenzie. Through the combination of two and three-dimensional art forms, Motion Activated describes the collected intentions and movement memory of a dancer’s body while magnifying the intricacies of trained movement. The audience is encouraged to reflect on their own movement pathways and to experience what dancers and other movement specialists experience.
Motion Activated transforms the venue creating walls and pathways; the audience follows the dancer as her body melds with drawings and video through flip books, scale drawings of the dance sequence, and infra-red capture of the live performance.The movement of the dancer and/or audience triggers sound and video at various points in the installation.
Motion Activated was presented by the Saint Mary's University Art Gallery in June/July 2013, and at ARTsPLACE, Annapolis Royal, the following September.
