ReSiDeNt @ LEMUR [1]: New Works, New Instruments, New Artists
PERFORMANCE: May 2nd 8PM $5
Robots and theater make us all excited here!
And we hear that this show will include plenty of mechanical thespians from Andrew Schneider, Dafna Naphtali, and Simon Morris.
Simon Morris SensorSkate, a skateboard custom-wired with sensors and
programmed to control the LEMUR robots.
Dafna Naphtali has been
brewing up a soundstorm of dynamically controlled algorithmic
improvisation and live audio processing, using Wiimotes and vocal cues
to trigger and manipulate the bots.
Andrew Schneider will be
doing musical theater, presenting a dance number and interfacing his
movements with the robots via custom-built wearable controllers. This
promises to be an exotic, entertaining evening.
