2025S, artistic Seminar (SEK), 2.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05420

Description

*Students who participated in the course last semester are welcome to attend and develop their projects while new students will get a crash course from 0 in embodied interactivity*

In this course, you'll learn how to interactively connect a performer's body to visuals and sounds. Instead of using knobs, buttons, and staring at screens, you'll perform with audio and visuals through dynamic bodily actions. We’ll focus on simple and effective ways to harness embodied interactivity to control media in real-time using simple cameras and microphones to interpret body movements and voice. The seminar is hands-on; you’ll work on your laptop and also have opportunities to move and engage with the interactive tools we create. Participants will receive a tailored library of software modules specifically designed for this seminar. This will minimize programming time and maximize your experimentation with the technology.
