Digital Body
What form can the dancing body take in the 21st Century?
The Digital Body project, launched in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, is an experimental platform for digital dance collaboration exploring how human movement can be represented using motion-capture and 3D animation technology.
At the start of lockdown in March 2020, Alexander began creating a database of dance sequences using motion-capture technology, which were made freely available to digital artists to create short digital films from. This resulted in contributions from around the world (as featured in Wired UK & The Guardian), which you can watch below, and an Augmented Reality filter for Instagram.
