Description

Keeping Track – Capturing Position and Motion is a class designed to shine light of different tracking methods and their uses in art, performance, exhibition and entertainment. GPS, RFID and camera tracking can harness movement and create positioning data in different scales which then can be mapped to feed visualisation or sonification. The tracking information can serve as interface, instrument or controller. We will learn and understand the basic principles of motion detection and capturing and work with more complex systems. We will rig a suitable room with a professional motion tracking system allowing us to explore its capabilities and limitations. Part of the course is a two day workshop by Frieder Weiß demoing and introducing the software solution eyecon and a two day workshop by Robert Wechsler introducing us to contemporary dance applications of motion sensing.
