Developments in digital technologies are enabling wildly new forms of physical experience and exploding the possible forms the moving body can take opening up exciting possibilities for artists and audiences.
Reaching across multiple art forms including dance music fashion and architecture a new frontier of creative expression has emerged which demands a radically different kind of stage.
Digital Body Festival will provide the platform for world-class artists thinkers and emerging talent to showcase work across multiple digital formats that invites the public to move and explore physical creativity in all its forms.
Drawing many amazing examples of this work together in one place it will reveal an exciting new frontier of physicality and bodily expression.
“New interactive and immersive technologies have the power to speak directly to our embodied and spatially situated experience of the world engaging the primal and universal language of movement as a basis for storytelling and meaning making. At the same time technologies such as motion capture 3D animation and Artificial Intelligence are providing artists with the tools to reimagine how moving bodies and the stories they carry with them are constructed and represented providing new canvases through which physical identities and relationships can play out. I’m fascinated by what this opens up for movement-based creativity and audiences’ direct physical engagement in ideas being explored.”
