Pow2045 – Generative design meets urban choreography

Author @FilipCategory Members vvvv People , Posted on:

Created by Berlin based dance media artist Christian Mio Loclair under his new studio Waltz Binaire, Pow2045 is a dance performance that combines generative design with urban choreography, focusing on a personal perspective towards duetts of man and machine.

The project has been premiered at the world famous Bauhaus Dessau and was touring across central america earlier this year. To meet production needs of a touring performance, the team chose VVVV as the programming language that enabled rapid prototyping of visual content, customised to each space where the performance was shown.
