NODE @ Motion Bank Lab “Choreographic Coding”
November 26th – 29th, 2013
Z Zentrum, Frankfurt, Germany
The ‘Choreographic Coding’ lab is organized cooperatively by NODE and Motion Bank and focuses on translating aspects of dance and choreography into digital form. It is organised as a lab for ‘code savvy’ practitioners with expertise in digital media who have an interest in exploring and finding synergies with the language of choreography.
During the lab, the Motion Bank dataset on choreographies by reknown artist, which was collected and produced in the last two years, will be made available. There is no fee, but applicants are asked to propose their own starting points and ideas.
Possible starting points are meaningful pattern searching, making invisible structures visible and movement notation. Results could range from prototypes for artworks to new plug-ins for working with the Motion Bank dataset. Each day will end with a round up of results and discussion open to the public.
