INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION PARADISO spaces

Las Negras and Chris Ziegler – movingimages

PARADISO is a series of two interactive dance films installations. Its two levels, “senses” and “spaces,” address sensory awareness and kinesthetic learning. PARADISO’s second level – “spaces” – will be presented at Cinedans during March 12th and 15th.

The installation connects the viewer’s kinesphere to  the camera of the film. Watching the dancer’s movements in the film leads the viewer into the movement of the camera’s viewing angle. In an expansion of Vertov’s mental montage in early 20th century filmmaking, the viewer of PARADISO generates an interactive physical montage.
