SHARED BODIES

In this project, two people’s movements are tracked and combined to generate graphics on a screen.

I experimented with several ways of combining their motion.

  • In the first two examples, their bodies are represented on the screen individually and then a central figure also appears, which is a direct averaging of the two participants.

  • In the next example, selected points on each participant are connected to create one abstract shape.

  • In the game, each participant shares control of the game piece but they have different goals to reach.

  • In the last example, they control a double pendulum, one participant taking control of the inner pendulum and one the outer – to combine their motion in an unusual way.

These experiments led to strange and interesting movements and unusual collaborations from the participants.
