Senses Places at Corporealidades Pós-humanas

Senses Places – the collective founded and led by Portugal’s Interdisciplinary artist Isabel Valverde – presented a program of work at this year’s Corporealidades Pós-humanas in Salvador, Brazil. Collaborators joined Isabel online at the Senses Places studio on Odyssey. Performers and audiences participated from Brazil via different portals including live streams and Second Life.

Senses Places uses different devices – wii-motes, motion sensors, webcams – to connect avatars to dancers and performers in real space. Dancer movements trigger movements in avatars online. These movements are then reinterpreted by dancers in real time (via projection), creating feedback loops and RL/VR interaction.

Here are some images documenting a Senses Places event at Corporealidades Pós-humanas, from Odyssey’s perspective.
