Dore Hoyer Project

In Cooperation with:

FAR – Fashion and Robotics. (University of Art and Design Linz in cooperation with the Johannes Kepler University Linz.

The cooperation consists of the realization of Motion Capture of a dance solo from a famous repertoire (“Angst” by Dore Hoyer)

The technology used was::

Vicon motion tracking with 6 infrared cameras Vero. The obtained data will be analyzed with the software Nexus (version 12).

Researchers involved:

Julio Andrés Escudero (FAR)

Damián Cortés Alberti, Adrián Artacho, Leonard Horstmayer

  •  Dance as an artistic practice is a multilayered phenomenon. It is a historically specific practice; it constitutes bodies; it depicts expression forms; it develops specific skills in bodies transgressing the dance’s realm. This project puts dance practices center stage to investigate the human body’s multilayeredness as place and source of agency,revealing their multi-layered manifestation in multiple layers of rendering.
