CYBORG DREAMING a special commission for the Science Museum London new Wellcome Gallery by Electronic Dance Theatre. 28 - 30 December 2000 Performances begin at 12.30 & 16.00 each day EDT return to London with a special commission for The Science Museum featuring their Bodycoder System which is a sensor array designed to be worn on the body of a dancer which enables real-time, generative and navigational control of audio and visual elements in a piece of live performance. Sensors on the joints of the dancer send electrical signals via radio to an assortment of computer terminals hosting software packages which can be accessed and manipulated remotely by the dancer during the performance. EDT, who rarely perform in London, are among a number of specialised dance & new technology companies who have made serious inroads into the development of sensitive and reliable hardware for 'interactive' as opposed to 'interpassive' live performance work, and have actively interrogated the newly emerging performance aesthetic. Cyborg Dreaming is a live dance performance which features real-time granular synthesis and sampling processes via MSP in conjunction with video/data projection using real-time visual processing and image manipulation. Dancer: Julie Wilson Composer & Electronics Designer: Mark Bromwich Costume design by the sculptress Angela Osman
