We have discussed using Processing for graphical generation and EyesWeb for motion capture, though we will also be investigating the possibilities of the Kinect and Unity.
Matt has experience with writing programs for generating imagery and sound from live sources and I am very happy to have him as part of the project.
I have begun recording test motion and we will be playing with imagery and process on Friday.
The image above is of the first, brief part, of the projection performance: a crazy mash of modern media and culture.
Once the performer begins the Tai Ji motions the space will be overtaken by the oil in water shapes moving against a dark background. Ripples will emanate from the performer, he will have a field of light around him and a spot over the TanTien (centre of gravity)
At this stage I think the performance will take place in the small gallery space on in building 34. The projection will be from a short throw projector mounted to the ceiling.
