BODY PIPELINES

Software: Unreal Engine    

In the age of digital immersion, what does it mean to exist in a physical space? Can we be sure that the body is even real? In Body Pipelines, artist and digital choreographer Harrison Hall, alongside collaborators Sam Mcgilp and Liam Wolfe, explores the collapsing boundaries between the digital and the physical, combining motion capture performance, computer-generated animation, and experimental sound.

Showcased as part of Sydney Opera House ‘Outlines’ (2023)

TADRA

Software: Unreal Engine
TADRA, and other visions uses motion capture, animation, and dance to explore and reinterpret Fijian mythology, symbology and expressive movement. TADRA holds a process of world-building and technological interrogation that focuses on the memory and stories of the dancing-body while transmuting Fijian folklore into a digital vision of mutation and distortion. This work in development utilises motion capture technology to inhabit virtual creatures and environments, in the process of enhancing and abstracting bodily expression in a live space.
