Abstract:
Dance performances generate data that are traditionally difficult to index and interact with in real time. We propose an interactive installation with a tangible interface that allows participants to use their whole body as a query to search a large corpus of dance-musical films for matching poses. The pose indexing system and embodied interaction proposed opens new pathways to exploring visually complex datasets while facilitating cultural participation by allowing an embodied and interactive experience with traditional forms of art.
