Antennae

Emily Beattie and Brian Knoth present an interactive dance and sound performance for the gallery space. Antennae is an intimate process of physically sorting through noise to find a solid signal. We are exploring what it might look like to decipher noise through the body.

The movement from Emily is captured with the Kinect camera and outputted to a visual programming environment for multimedia systems that Knoth has developed and customized. Through triggering sonic events and bending sound the space becomes an instrument that Emily can play. A confrontation of the self image surfaces and sinks in a compilation of interactive sound, recorded sound, and live sound. Imprints in form, movement, and sound guide the performer and viewer through Antennae.

Antennae has been presented at the following places: 

Ammerman Center for the Arts at Connecticut College April 2016
Festival of the Moving Body Stony Brook University 2015
