Kinetech Lab

Kinetech Arts Lab 08/05/2014

Daiane and the dancers (Becky, Qimin, Irene) rehearsed new moves, possibly for Halloween Party in October (more on that soon). Weidong exhibited the latest iteration of the flying-through-data-simulation thing thing he has been working on (with Travis), which is to be ready in mid-September for a big trade show exhibit at Moscone Center, sponsored by Box.

Robin exhibited samples of his new animation-in-progress, which may become the basis of a dance performance.

Later, Chris came by and showed off some kind of digital video voodoo effect, to the bewilderment and delight of all.

Kinetech presents 4SEE September 6 & 7 at 8 pm

Kunst-Stoff Arts, upstairs

4SEE explores the concept and practice of surveillance in contemporary society. The performance uses technologies such as cell phones and social networks, which have become an indispensible part of daily life, yet which track and record every move we make.

Does the cycle of surveillance oppress or emancipate? Do acts of surveillance separate the watcher from the watched, or are they co-conspirators in the performance of modern life?

Come to watch, be watched, and play along...

Kinetech is a collective of artists and scientists striving to challenge possibility through collaborative creativity.

Choreography by Daiane Lopes da Silva in collaboration with dancers.

Performers: Ali Weeks, ArVejon A. Jones, Irene Hsiao, Karla Quintero, Katherine Disenhof, Keon Saghari, Ong Pholchai.

Tech Developers: Cere Davis, Jesse Zbikowski, Max Carlson, and Weidong Yang

Visual Artist: Raymond Larrett

Photography and Film: Mark McBeth

Directed by Weidong Yang

4SEE will be presented in conjunction with Daiane Lopes da Silva’s new solo work, IN THE NIGHT, developed in residence at Kunst-Stoff Arts.

Special thanks to open source community, from which most technology used in the performance is built upon.

4SEE
September 6 and 7
8pm
Tickets $15 at the door

The Circus Freaks of Kinetech

  Kinetech is at is again! Yesterday evening the artists of Kinetech gathered to explore the potential of a streak camera. This camera takes shots in one thin angle, creating the affect that one is floating across the screen, almost like a moving scroll. We were transformed into giants, genies, centaurs and octopi, as we explored how this camera altered our body proportions and movement in odd and unexpected ways.  Often we were surprised as to how and why the camera would transform us. We tried to "crack the code" so that we can create interesting and expected choreography with the screen in future sessions.

  We are immensely grateful to everyone who came out to see our first open lab. Thank you for your continued support. Plans are in the works for future open labs, showings and experiments. Kinetech is here to stay!
